“…The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of Au@PdO NAs before and after treatment by NaBH 4 for different times are shown in Figure C. The diffraction peaks at 33.8, 42.1, 54.9, 60.4, 60.8, and 71.4° correspond to the (101), (110), (112), (103), (200), and (211) planes of the PdO shell, , and the remaining four characteristic diffraction peaks correspond to the (111), (200), (220), and (311) planes of the Au core . After being reduced by NaBH 4 , a new characteristic diffraction peak at 40.1° appears, which should be assigned as the Pd (111) plane, and the peak becomes intensive along with the increase of the reduction time.…”
