Water-dispersible ligand protected Pd ultra-small clusters and Ag nanoparticles of three different sizes were used as the precursors. The high reactivity of Pd ultra-small clusters enhanced the alloying of larger Ag nanoparticles to some extent. Encapsulation appeared to have minimised the sintering of the resultant nanoparticles. The earlier suggestions of the role of d-band positions with respect to adsorption energies holds good for the AgPd system and alloying enhances the activity. Alloy with the composition of Ag50Pd50 was found to be the most active with the reaction rate enhanced two fold compared to that in other compositions. Other factors like particle size and sinter-resistance also played important roles in enhancing the activity of these catalysts.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.277</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mondal, Sourik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rajesh, Thattarathody</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dhar, Basab B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Snellman, Markus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Li, Junjie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deepak, Francis Leonard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Devi, R.
