Pt-content-controlled synthesis of Pd nanohollows/Pt nanorods core/shell composites with enhanced electrocatalytic activities for the methanol oxidation reaction
We developed a simple method to obtain the PdPtAu@Pd core@shell catalyst for methanol oxidation reaction. The PdPtAu@Pd exhibited superior photo-electrocatalytic behaviors, whose mass activity is 2.3 and 6.7 times higher than Pt/C and Pd/C.
A facile one-pot strategy is developed to synthesize dendritic core–shell Cu@PtCu alloy nanocrystals with controlled morphologies and structural features, which show superior electrocatalytic performance toward a methanol oxidation reaction.
