The use of areas calculated by stripping of CO to Pd PRM NPs generates misleading interpretations, since several processes seem to occur during the cycling procedure. Also, the choice of the support is determinant to manufacture Pd NPs. The MWCNTs seems to be more stable to exhaustive cycles associated with CO electro-oxidation than Pd/C.
