Abstract
Macroscopic free-standing Pd and Pd/Pt bimetallic monolayer nanomembranes (Pd- and Pd/Pt-FNMs) derived from the spontaneous self-assembly of the as-produced Pd NPs and Pd/Pt bimetallic NPs at the water-air interface within 15 min are fabricated, respectively. The one-step method allows the growth of high-quality Pd-based FNMs with well-defined monolayer morphology, which exhibit significantly higher electrocatalytic activity for methanol/ethanol oxidation than commercial catalysts.
