Abstract

Nanomaterials with the composition Au_xPd_1−x (x = 0–1) in the size range of 5–15 nm are easily obtained at room temperature using a surfactant-free NaBH₄-mediated synthesis in water. These materials are readily active electrocatalysts suitable for the timely study of composition effects, as exemplified by the electrocatalytic ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR).
