Synthesis of highly active Pt–CeO2 hybrids with tunable secondary nanostructures for the catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane

Abstract

We demonstrate a fast and facile ultrasound-assisted method to fabricate Pt–CeO₂ hybrids with tunable secondary nanostructures. The influence of hybrid structures towards their catalytic properties has been studied in depth. As a result the Pt–CeO₂ nanonecklace shows better catalytic performance than the nanoflower and the nanosatellite.
