Synergistic effect of bimetallic Pd–Pt nanocrystals for highly efficient methanol oxidation electrocatalysts

Abstract

Nanocubes (Pd–Pt alloy, Pd@Pt core–shell, Pd, and Pt) were employed as electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation reaction to explore the correlation between atomic distribution within electrocatalysts and their catalytic activity.

Bimetallic PdPt alloy nanoparticle-decorated track-etched polyethylene terephthalate membranes for efficient H2 separation

“…As previously stated, this change in binding energy is due to the alloy formation and influenced by the chemical environment. 51 Additionally, the electrical interaction between Pd and Pt may enhance the nanocomposites' catalytic activity and durability.…”

Platinum Alloys for Methanol Oxidation Electrocatalysis: Reaction Mechanism and Rational Design of Catalysts with Exceptional Activity and Stability

“…Numerous Pt-based alloys have been proposed as highly efficient MOR catalysts [6,[9][10][11][12]. Pt-based solid solution alloys with foreign elements doped into a Pt lattice provide sufficient compositional and electronic tuning possibilities.…”
