We report a facile synthesis of Ag@Pd core-shell icosahedral nanocrystals for the development of cost-effective electrocatalysts toward formic acid oxidation. With 12.4 nm Ag icosahedra serving as seeds, Pd shells of controlled thicknesses in the range of 3.6-5.8 atomic layers are grown by adjusting the experimental parameters. When examined as catalysts toward formic acid oxidation, all the Ag@Pd nanocrystals exhibit enhanced mass activities relative to a commercial Pd/C catalyst, with the Ag@Pd(4.2L)nanocrystals showing enhanced mass activity that is almost twice that of a commercial Pd/C. The chronoamperometry measurements indicate that all the Ag@Pd/C catalysts are more robust than the Pd/C, with the catalyst based on Ag@Pd(4.2L)nanocrystals showing a mass activity greater than that of the pristine Pd/C after holding in a mixture of HCOOH and HClO(4)at 0.75 V for 1,000 s. We believe that the strategy demonstrated here can also be extended to the development of other types of advanced electrocatalysts.
