Abstract
. Kinetic analysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and CO stripping test results suggested that the excellent electrocatalytic activity may originate from the optimized balance between Pd content and surface structure of PdAuCu NPs-0.5. The optimization of the balance between composition and surface structure would contribute to the further design of multimetallic nanoparticles for fuel cells and other applications.
