Tuning CO2 electroreduction efficiency at Pd shells on Au nanocores (2013)
Journal Article
Plana. (2013). Tuning CO2 electroreduction efficiency at Pd shells on Au nanocores. Chemical Communications, 10962 - 10964. https://doi.org/10.1039/C3CC46543H

The faradaic efficiency of CO2 electroreduction is significantly affected by the thickness of Pd nanoshells on Au cores. The ratio of hydrogen evolution to CO2 reduction was determined by differential electrochemical mass spectrometry. Decreasing the...

Solids at the liquid-liquid interface: Electrocatalysis with pre-formed nanoparticles (2013)
Journal Article
Plana. (2013). Solids at the liquid-liquid interface: Electrocatalysis with pre-formed nanoparticles. Electrochimica Acta, 809 -815. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.electacta.2013.03.185

The catalytic activity of Au and Au–Pd core–shell nanoparticles is investigated at the liquid–liquid interface. The particles are shown to catalyse a process which is attributed to interfacial oxygen reduction. The Au–Pd particles are shown to be mor...
