Abstract
In this work, well-defined bimetallic AuPd alloyed nanocrystals (AuPd NCs) were facilely synthesized by a straightforward and controllable one-step wet-chemical strategy, using a biomolecule (L-hydroxyproline, L-Hyp) as the green stabilizer and the structure-directing agent. Their morphology, size, composition, crystal structures and growth mechanism were investigated by a series of techniques. The synthesized architectures exhibited enlarged electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), improved catalytic activity, enhanced durability and stability towards ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) and glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) in alkaline electrolytes in comparison with commercial Pd black catalyst.
