Direct methanol fuel cells have attracted extensive research interest because of their relatively high energy density and portability. It is important to rationally design the composition and surface atomic structure by efficient synthesis protocols to boost cell efficiency. In this study, we employed cohesive pulsed laser irradiation and ultrasonochemical techniques to synthesize and tune the molar ratio of an Au–Pd alloy for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The effective implementation of extremely rapid photoinduced reduction and reaction conditions resulted in the formation of well-dispersed and homogenous nanospheres of the Au–Pd alloy with uniform particle size. Moreover, the composition-tuned Au–Pd alloy exhibited an improved electrocatalytic activity, which might be due to its improved electrical conductivity and higher CO tolerance. The alloy achieved relatively high mass and specific activities of 0.50 A/mgPd and 1.36 mA/cmPd2, respectively. Additionally, we studied the effect of the Au–Pd composition on the MOR activity and analyzed the reaction kinetics in depth. This work provides the foundation for implementing a laser-based technique to synthesize Pd-based alloy electrocatalysts for MOR application.
