Abstract

The development of bimetallic nanomaterials with well?defined facets is highly desired in electrocatalysis to improve the alcohols oxidation. In this work, PdAg nanoparticles containing abundance of (100) facets and Pd nanocubes enclosed within (100) facets as control are synthesized and used as electrocatalysts towards ethylene glycol oxidation in alkaline medium. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high?resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR?TEM) reveal that PdAg is composed by semispherical and semi?cubic nanoparticles with average sizes of 4.1
