Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The rational synthesis of active, durable, and low-cost catalysts is of particular interest to fuel cell applications. Here, we describe a facile method for the preparation of Pd-rich Pd Co alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon, using an adsorbate-induced surface segregation effect. The electronic properties of Pd were modulated by alloying with different amounts of Co, which affects the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. The electrocatalytic activity of the Pd Co@Pd/C nanoparticles for the ORR was enhanced by spontaneously depositing a nominal monolayer of Pt. The activities of the different catalysts for the ORR could be correlated with the oxygen adsorption energy and the d-band center of the catalyst surface, as calculated using density functional theory, which is in agreement with previous theoretical studies. The materials synthesized herein are promising cathode catalysts for fuel cell applications and the facile synthesis method could be readily adapted to other catalyst systems, facilitating screening of high efficiency catalysts. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
