Abstract

This communication demonstrates a facile approach to synthesize a platinum (Pt) nanocube catalyst (∼3.5 nm) in the absence of surfactants, which exhibits excellent activity towards alcohol electrooxidation. The clean and unique surface structure was proposed as the main reason accounting for the enhancement of catalytic activities.
