In the present work, hollow PdAg-CeO<sub>2</sub> heterodimer nanocrystals (NCs) were prepared and tested as catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes. These nanostructures combine for the first time the beneficial effect of alloying Pd with Ag in a single NC hollow domain with the formation of active sites at the interface with the CeO<sub>2</sub> counterpart in an additive manner. The PdAg-CeO<sub>2</sub> NCs display excellent alkene selectivity for aliphatic alkynes. For the specifi ...[more]
