Alloy catalysts consisting of Ir, Pd, and other metals were synthesized and characterized for ethanol electro-oxidation activity. A variety of experimental techniques, including HRTEM, EELS, XRD, and XAS, were used to identify the structure of active nanoparticles. DFT simulations confirmed experimental results, and were further used to screen potential alloys.
