Au-Pd Core-Shell Nanoparticles as Alcohol Oxidation Catalysts: Effect of Shape and Composition

The right combination: Shape and composition are two important factors governing the catalytic properties of bimetallic nanocatalysts. Combining gold and palladium in a Au‐core–Pd‐shell structure coupled with an icosahedral morphology is shown to maximize catalytic performance for the selective oxid...

Description
Summary:The right combination: Shape and composition are two important factors governing the catalytic properties of bimetallic nanocatalysts. Combining gold and palladium in a Au‐core–Pd‐shell structure coupled with an icosahedral morphology is shown to maximize catalytic performance for the selective oxidation of the biorenewable sources glycerol and 1,2‐propanediol to glyceric and lactic acids, respectively.
