In this study, DASCs of atomically dispersed platinum and palladium on nitrogen-doped carbon nanocages (Pt<sub>1</sub>Pd<sub>1</sub>/NCNC) are successfully synthesized using an impregnation-adsorption method. The Pt<sub>1</sub>Pd<sub>1</sub>/NCNC catalyst has higher mass activity toward ethanol and methanol oxidation than commercial Pt/C and Pd/C. In contrast, Pt or Pd single-atom catalysts on nitrogen-doped carbon nanocages are virtually inert. Ethanol and methanol on Pt<sub>1</sub>Pd<sub>1</sub>/NCNC are electro-oxidized to acetate ion and CO<sub>2</sub> as the final product, respectivelyAngewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)Dizygotic Atomic Platinum and Palladium on Carbon for High-Performance Ethanol and Methanol Electro-Oxidation.PMC12416477BK2024202516308420HZQB-KCZYB-2020083RF1028623161JRFS2526-6S082242024K40008162016221620182016206019Liu JXu MHu ZCiucci FWang JXiao RZhang ZZeng JShao MLim JPao CWWang YZhao JWang ZZeng DZhu SSong YfalseDizygotic Atomic Platinum and Palladium on Carbon for High-Performance Ethanol and Methanol Electro-Oxidation.Dizygotic-atom-site catalysts (DASCs), consisting of multi-atomic dispersed catalytic centers, perform well in several reactions but have poor electrocatalytic activity toward alcohol electro-oxidation.
