Rapid room-temperature synthesis of Pd nanodendrites on reduced graphene oxide for catalytic oxidation of ethylene glycol and glycerol

In this paper, we demonstrate a simple, rapid, and facile wet-chemical approach to synthesize uniform Pd nanodendrites supported on reduced graphene oxide at room temperature, without any seed, organic solvent or special apparatus. The novel nanocomposite shows superior electrocatalytic activity, high CO-poisoning tolerance and stability for the electrooxidation of ethylene glycol and glycerol.
