摘　　要：Palladium-based alloy catalysts have been employed as one of the potential candidates for oxygen reduc-tion reaction(ORR),but the dissolution of transition metal hinders their application.Herein,structure or-dered PdTe intermetallic with Pd shell(o-PdTe@Pd)are synthesized via an electrochemical etching driven surface reconstruction strategy.The surface reconstruction could tune the electronic structure,weaken the adsorption energy of reaction intermediates on o-PdTe@Pd,resulting in enhanced electrocatalytic ac-tivity for ORR.The mass activity of o-PdTe@Pd is about 3.3 and 2.7 times higher than that of Pd/C in acid and alkaline,respectively.Besides,the half-potentials for ORR decay only about 44 mV and 12 mV after 30 k cycles accelerated durability test in acid and alkaline media,respectively.The enhanced dura-bility originates from the resistance of Te atoms dissolve in the ordered PdTe intermetallic core and the core-shell structure.When assembled in a Zn-air battery,o-PdTe@Pd electrode delivers a higher specific capacity(794 mAh/g)and better cycling stability than Pt/C.
