Layered Au-Pd-Au nanorod catalysts: Pd-layer thickness effects on catalyst performance

Au-Nanorods Supporting Pd and Pt Nanocatalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: Pd Is Revealed to Be a Better Catalyst than Pt

“…In a previous work, we showed that layered Au-Pd-nanorods (NRs) are powerful electrocatalysts for formic acid electrooxidation [ 16 ]. In this prior study, controlling the Pd-layer thickness to few nanometers was shown to drastically increase the performance of the catalyst.…”

A one-pot route for the synthesis of Au@Pd/PMo12/rGO as a dual functional electrocatalyst for ethanol electro-oxidation and hydrogen evolution reaction

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12] Among these bimetallic nanoparticles, AuPd NPs are of special interest because of their high catalytic activity. [13][14][15] Currently, there are a number of synthetic procedures towards Pd-based bimetallic NPs such as co-reduction, seedmediated-growth in aqueous solution, electrodeposition, thermal decomposition, and galvanic replacement reaction. [13][14][15][16][17][18] In addition to careful selection of NPs, immobilization on a conductive support improves their effective catalytic performance.…”

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets are two-dimensional carbon materials which offer excellent support for dispersion of NPs, due to their large surface area, superior electronic mobility and thermal conductivity.…”
