Rare-earth-element (Y, Gd) modified Pt nanoparticles (NPs) supported on a carbon substrate (Vulcan XC-72) are synthesized via a water-in-oil chemical route. In both cases, X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements show the non-formation of an alloyed material. Photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) results reveal
