The local structure and thermal stability of newly synthesized PdRuIr PdRu alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were studied using X-ray absorption fine spectroscopy (XAFS) compared with those Ru NPs. Pd K-edge XAFS reveals that a significant fraction segregates, forming metal NP clusters. In the NPs, small forms an Ir, whereas majority phase is Ru–Ir having novel face-centered cubic structure. Apart from...
