Pd–Cu Core–Shell Nanoclusters for Ethylene Glycol Electrooxidation: A Theoretical Investigation

cluster. These electronic and structural effects collectively enable a favorable balance between activity, selectivity, and stability. The study establishes an elegant strategy for designing tunable, poisoning-resistant nanocluster electrocatalysts and offers a generalizable paradigm for atomic-level catalyst engineering, with promising implications for fuel cells and sustainable electrosynthesis.
