  1. CNT carbon nanotube
  2. χ represents a hetero-atomic intermix of coordination neighbors to the target atom in a selected bond pair. For the Pt L3-edge result, χM = (CNPt-M / CNPt-total) × 100%, where M represents neighboring atoms of Pt and CNPt-total = Σ CNPt-M (for instance, CNPt-total = CNPt-Pt + CNPt-Pd for the sample of Pd@Pt catalyst)
  3. R-factor is 0.04 for Co@Pd-Pt, 0.01 for Pd@Pt, 0.01 for Pt/CNT at Pt L3- edge; 0.02 for Co@Pd-Pt, 0.01 for Pd@Pt,; and 0.01 for Pd/CNT at Pd K-edge
