title: Submonolayered Ru Deposited on Ultrathin Pd Nanosheets used for Enhanced Catalytic Applications.
abstract: Ultrathin Pd nanosheets (NSs) coated with submonolayered Ru, referred to as Pd@Ru NSs, are synthesized via a seed-mediated growth method. The underpotential deposition can be the driving force for the formation of Pd@Ru NSs. The Pd@Ru NSs exhibit superior catalytic properties in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and the semihydrogenation of 1-octyne, compared to the pure Pd NSs and Ru NSs.
