Improved Alcohol Oxidation through Combined Effects of Tensile Lattice Strain and Twin Defects in Core–Shell Electrocatalysts

The direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) rely on alcohol oxidation reactions (AORs) to produce electricity, which require catalysts with optimized electronic structure to accelerate the sluggish AORs. Herein, an epitaxial growth of Pd layer onto the pentatwinned Au@Ag core–shell nanorods (NRs) is repor...
