The oxidation and evolution reactions of hydrogen are investigated at nanostructures of palladium–gold combining experimental and theoretical approaches. The extraordinary reactivity of submonolayers of Pd on Au(1 1 1) has been explained by a direct correlation with the changes in the electronic properties and geometrical arrangements. The application of the electrocatalysis theory, which goes beyond the qualitative approach of the d band centers, allows explaining quantitatively the experimental finding.

► Submonolayers of Pd on Au(1 1 1) have extraordinary reactivity for H2 reactions.
► The reactivity also depends on the atomic arrangements and the amount of Pd.
► The electrocatalysis is explained by direct correlations with the electronic states.
► Our quantitative theory goes beyond the qualitative approach of the d band centers.
