Abstract:
Here, Pd-coated Ru nanocrystals supported on N-doped graphene (Pd-Ru@NG) are obtained via electroless deposition of Pd on Ru nanocrystals. We have demonstrated that Pd boosts the electrocatalytic performance of Pd-Ru@NG towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and alcohol tolerant oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as compared to Pt/C.
