Gold nanobipyramids doped with Au/Pd alloyed nanoclusters for high efficiency ethanol electrooxidation.

ABSTRACT: Plasmonic metal nanostructures are of great interest due to their excellent physicochemical properties and promising applications in a wide range of technical fields. Among metal nanostructures, bimetallic nanostructures with desired morphologies, such as core-shell, uniform alloy and surface decoration, are of great interest due to their improved properties and superior synergetic effects. In this paper, Au/Pd nanoclusters were deposited on the surface of gold nanobipyramids (AuBPs) into a core-shell nanostructure (AuBP@Au _x Pd_1-x ) through a reductive co-precipitation method. The AuBP@Au _x Pd_1-x nanostructure integrates effectively the advantages of plasmonic AuBPs and catalytic Pd ultrafine nanoclusters, as well as
