Abstract

By using the K2PdCl4/K2Pt(CN)4 cyanogel with a three-dimensional (3D) backbone structure as a reaction precursor, corallite-like Pt-Pd alloy nanostructures (Pt-Pd CANs) are facilely obtained by a simple NaBH4 reduction method; these exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity and stability for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR).
