Bubble-assisted growth of hollow palladium nanospheres with structure control allowing very thin shells for highly enhanced catalysis†
Abstract
Palladium shells are prepared via a one-step solvothermal synthesis involving nanobubbles as soft templates although no stabilizer is present, while still allowing control over diameter, thickness, and grain size, leading to grain-monolayer thin and porous shells with very high and durable electrocatalytic activity.
