PtCu nanodendrite-assisted synthesis of PtPdCu concave nanooctahedra for efficient electrocatalytic methanol oxidation†
Abstract
Ternary PtPdCu alloy concave nanooctahedra (ACNOs) are synthesized by a facile “one-pot, two-step” method from PtCu nanodendrites. The as-prepared PtPdCu ACNOs show superior electrocatalytic activity and durability for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) compared with binary PtCu alloy nanodendrites and commercial Pt black.
