posted on 2018-03-05, 13:57 authored by Xian-Yin Ma, Ya-Feng Chen, Han Wang, Qiao-Xia Li, Wen-Feng LinWen-Feng Lin, Wen-Bin CaiCubic, octahedral and rhombic dodecahedral Pd nanocrystals were synthesized and examined as nanocatalysts for electro-oxidation of ethanol and ethylene glycol. Combined electrochemical measurements and density functional theory calculations reveal that nanofacet-dependent affinity and reactivity of OHads and COads are closely linked to the C2 alcohol oxidation activities, with the highest reactivity found on the Pd nanocubes bounded by {100} facets.
