Highly dispersed and COad-tolerant Ptshell-Pdcore catalyst for ethanol oxidation reaction: Catalytic activity and long-term durability

A Ptshell-Pdcore/C catalyst was electrochemically synthesized, and exhibited higher catalytic activity with COad-tolerance toward ethanol oxidation at prolonged time. The core-shell configuration induced the change in the binding ability of catalyst with adsorbate, which ultimately increased its CO oxidation capacity.177
