title: The growth and enhanced catalytic performance of Au@Pd core-shell nanodendrites.
abstract: Au@Pd core-shell nanodendrites were synthesized by reducing H(2)PdCl(4) with ascorbic acid onto the surface of Au polyhedra at room temperature. The Au@Pd core-shell nanodendrites consisting of a Au core and nanoporous Pd shell, exhibited plasmonic properties and higher catalytic activity in comparison with Au@Pd core-shell nanocubes.
