Synthesis of Pd3Pb colloidal nanocrystal assembly and their electrocatalytic activity toward ethanol oxidation

Palladium-based electrocatalysts have become an important research field in energy generation. Introducing another metal element in palladium-based catalysts may improve the electrocatalytic performance while reducing costs. In this work, colloidal nanocrystal assembly (CNA) of Pd3Pb alloy has been synthesized via an aqueous-solution synthesis method. The content of Pb in Pd3Pb CNAs can be adjusted to obtain an optimal value with the highest...
