Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover shows the bifunctional electrocatalytic activity of graphene‐supported Au/Pd alloy nanostructures towards the oxidation of methanol and the reduction of oxygen. In their Full Paper, Sahu et al. describe a new approach for the synthesis of unique flower‐like Au/Pd alloy nanostructures and their self‐assembly on a graphene support. The graphene support triggers the excellent electrocatalytic performance of the nanostructures. The excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activity of the graphene‐supported Au/Pd nanostructures towards methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction can enable promising applications for energy conversion. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Sahu et al. onpage 4042 in Issue 24, 2015 (DOI:10.1002/cctc.201500465 ).
