A major synthetic challenge is to make metal nanoparticles with nanosized branches and well-defined facets for high-performance catalysts. Herein, we introduce a mechanism that uses the growth of hexagonal crystal structured branches off cubic crystal structured core nanoparticles. We control the growth to form Pd-core Ru-branch nanoparticles that have nanosized branches with low index Ru facets. We demonstrate that the branched and faceted structural features of the Pd-Ru nanoparticles retain high catalytic activity while also achieving high stability for the oxygen evolution reaction.
