Abstract
A simple method for the preparation of PdCo@Pd core-shell nanoparticles supported on carbon has been developed using an adsorbate-induced surface segregation effect. The stability and electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction of PdCo@Pd nanoparticles was enhanced by a small amount of Pt, deposited via a spontaneous displacement reaction. The facile method described herein is suitable for large-scale lower cost production and significantly lowers the Pt loading and thus cost. The as-prepared PdCo@Pd and Pd-decorated PdCo@Pd nanocatalysts have higher methanol-tolerance for the ORR when compared to Pt/C, and are promising cathode catalysts for fuel cell applications.
