“…For example; Pd-based catalysts decorated with some metal oxides (CeO 2 , Y 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , MgO, In 2 O 3 ) have been designed to increase the catalyst electroactivity and stability in ethanol oxidation [12e15]. Pd-based binary catalysts such as Au [16,17], Ni [18,19], Pt [20], Bi [21], Ag [22], Cu [23] and Pd-based ternary catalysts [24e27] have been investigated by several researchers. It has been found that PdeCo alloys have excellent electrocatalytic performance in comparison with pure Pd catalyst [28,29], and Co is much cheaper than precious metals such as Ag, Au and Pt.…”
