Cuboctahedral Pd nanoparticles on WC for enhanced methanol electrooxidation in alkaline solution

摘要

We report cuboctahedral Pd nanoparticles on WC synthesized by the polyol process using ethylene glycol with NO_3~- and Fe~(3+)/ Fe~(2+) ions. The cuboctahedral Pd/WC shows much improved electrocatalytic activity for methanol electrooxidation in alkaline solution.
