“…In the past decade, much attention has been drawn to the design of alloying catalysts, for instance, alloying Pd with non-noble transition metals, such as Co, Ni, Cu, Fe, Sn, etc. − Those Pd-based NCs have been proved to enhance the catalytic activity due to optimization of the electronic structure and the downshift of the d-band of Pd. However, the dissolution of these transition metals remains the major reason for the severe degradation of the catalytic performance of the alloyed catalysts. , Alternatively, this issue can be addressed by alloying Pd with other noble metals. In the previous work, we found the Au–Pd alloy structures exhibiting great activities toward EOR compared to the pure Pd counterparts .…”
