Herein, the PdPt bi- metallic NPs have been obtained using bayberry tannin （BT） as both the reducing agent and surfactant. Additionally, the PdPt bimetallic NPs with different Pd/Pt atomic ratios can be prepared by just varying the amounts of the Pd and Pt pre- cursors. Most importantly, the as-prepared Pd52Pt4s catalyst exhibits the optimal catalytic activities compared with the other compositional PdPt NPs （Pds2Ptls, Pd69Ph~, and Pd36 Pt64） and commercial Pt/C （20 wt.%） catalyst for the methanol oxidation reaction （MOR）. Meanwhile, Pd52Pt4s also shows better CO tolerance, which can be attributed to the unique dendritic structure and the synergistic effect between Pd and Pt. With evident advantages of the facile preparation and enhanced catalytic performance, it holds great promise as a high-performance catalyst for electrochemical energy con- version.展开更多
