Abstract

We report Pt–Pd nanoparticles synthesized by means of a polyol process with glycerol as a reducing agent. The Pt–Pd nanoparticles exhibit dominantly exposed {111} facets in octahedral shape with complete alloy formation between Pt and Pd. Furthermore, the octahedral Pt–Pd alloy catalysts show improved catalytic activity and stability in methanol electrooxidation.
