Kinetically controlled synthesis of PdNi bimetallic porous nanostructures with enhanced electrocatalytic activity.

A class of 3D PdNi bimetallic nano-materials with porous nanostructures is synthesized using a facile and versatile approach at room temperature. Due to their porous nanostructures, their clean surfaces, as well as the synergistic effect between their compositions, the as-prepared PdNi exhibit greatly enhanced activity and stability towards methanol electrooxidation in an alkaline medium, holding great promise in fuel cells.
