摘要: Abstract Designing the low cost, active, durable, and alcohol-tolerant cathode catalysts towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is significant for large-scale commercialization of direct alcohol fuel cells. Recently, Pd-based nanocrystals have attracted attention as Pt-alternative ORR in alkaline electrolyte. Unfortunately, pristine lack selectivity due to their inherent activity molecule oxidation In this work, polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified AuPd alloy with Au-rich cores Pd-rich PdAu shells (AuPd@PdAu-PEI) are successfully synthesized using a traditional chemical method presence PEI. The rotating disk electrode (RDE) technique applied evaluate performance AuPd@PdAu-PEI nanocrystals. Compared commercial Pd black, show significantly enhanced durability ORR, simultaneously exhibit particular tolerance
