Hybrid NiCoOx adjacent to Pd nanoparticles as a synergistic electrocatalyst for ethanol oxidation

A novel hybrid NiCoOx adjacent to Pd catalyst (Pd-NiCoOx/C) has been fabricated. Compared to Pd/C and Pd-NiO/C catalysts, the adjacent structure of Pd and NiCoOx nanoparticles leads to a Strong Metal−Support Interactions, enhancing the activity and stability of Pd for ethanol electrooxidation.237
