Abstract
We develop a facile, selective edge etching strategy to create edge sites in Pd metallene using acetic acid. The created edge sites remarkably increase the electrochemically active surface area but reduce the charge transfer resistance, resulting in significant enhancement of catalytic activity and stability toward formic acid oxidation.
