Abstract

Well-dispersed Pd_xAg_y alloy nanoparticles supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets (Pd_xAg_y/RGO) are successfully synthesized by in situ reduction precipitation using hydrothermal synthesis method. The as-prepared Pd₁Ag₁/RGO nanocomposite exhibits higher electrocatalytic activities than the commercial Pd/C catalyst for ethanol electro-oxidation in alkaline medium.
