PdxRu1− x nanoparticles (NPs) were observed to display enhanced CO oxidation activity
with the maximum performance obtained at the composition x= 0.5. To unveil the origin of
this superior CO oxidation activity, we investigated the local structure, valence state, and
electronic properties of PdxRu1− x NPs using synchrotron-based X-ray techniques. Site
specific information obtained from X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy
revealed that the local disorder around Pd and Ru atoms and their valence state can be …
