Article Abstract
The efficient electrooxidation of alcohols at fuel cell anodes remains fundamentally constrained by sluggish kinetics and catalyst instability, driving the pursuit of structurally tunable Pd-based nanocatalysts. Nevertheless, exerting precise structural control over nanomaterials to achieve efficient alcohol (e.g., methanol, ethanol) electrooxidation in fuel cells remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report a facile one-pot wet-chemical synthesis of PdPb nanoparticles (NPs), employing a systematic surfactant modulation strategy to probe the dual influence of alkyl chain length (C and C) and halide ions (Br and Cl) on the morphological and dimensional control of PdPb NPs. Building upon well-defined structural modifications, we further interrogate the electrocatalytic ramifications of these size-tuned nanocatalysts for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline media and establish explicit structure-activity relationships.

High-entropy alloys have raised great interest in recent years because of their potential applications for multi-electron reactions owing to their diverse active sites and multielement tunability. However, the difficulty of synthesis is an obstacle to their development due to phase separation often exists. In addition, it's a challenge to precisely control morphology in harsh conditions, thus leading to nanoparticles in many cases.

Atomic ordering of noble metal alloys is an effective strategy for improving catalytic performance, yet the low-temperature synthesis of ordered alloys still faces significant challenges. The low-temperature liquid phase method has enormous potential for the synthesis of alloys; however, the atomic ordering mechanism of this process has not been thoroughly studied. Herein, we investigate the mechanism of the influence of metal precursors, reducing agents, solvents, and mixing modes of reactant regulating strategies on precious metal alloy ordering using this method.

Developing facile synthetic strategies toward ultrafine one-dimensional (1D) nanowires (NWs) with rich catalytic hot spots is pivotal for exploring effective heterogeneous catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate a two-dimensional (2D) template-directed strategy for synthesizing 1D kink-rich PdPb NWs with abundant grain boundaries to serve as high-efficiency electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this one-pot synthesis, ultrathin Pd nanosheets were initially generated, which then served as self-sacrificial 2D nano-templates.

The synthesis of -alkenes is industrially carried out by selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes with complex Pd catalysts, which include the Lindlar catalyst (PdPb on CaCO) and c-Pd/TiS (colloidal ligand-protected Pd nanoparticles), among others. Here, we show that Pd atoms are generated from primary Pd salts (PdCl, PdSO, Pd(OH), PdO) with H in alcohol solutions, independently of the alkyne, to catalyze the semi-hydrogenation reaction with extraordinarily high efficiency (up to 735 s), yield (up to 99%), and selectivity (up to 99%). The easy-to-prepare Pd species hold other potential catalytic applications.
