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 method for one-pot synthesis of worm-like PtMo wavy nanowires under hydrogen pressure is developed. The as-made catalyst shows superior catalytic activity and durability towards the methanol oxidation reaction.
Polyhedral Cu–Ni alloy nanoparticles with a Ni-rich surface were synthesized, and they exhibit very high activity during the methanol oxidation reaction.
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.
