Successfully prepared via Ar glow-discharge plasma reduction, Au–Pd bimetallic nanoparticles were highly active in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol, showing a rate constant of 0.50 h−1, which was 12.5 and 2× that of Au and Pd monometallic catalysts, respectively. Characterization analyses a...
