Description
Summary:Three-dimensional (3D) cubic superstructures of PtPd nanocubes were achieved by spontaneous adjustment of Pt IV reduction kinetics, and exhibited enhanced catalytic activity and long-term durability towards methanol oxidation compared with the state-of-the-art Pt/C. This work demonstrates the first example of designing 3D shaped architectures of PtPd nanocubes for methanol electrooxidation. A cubic superstructure of PtPd alloy nanocubes with superior electrocatalytic activity towards methanol oxidation was produced in a one-pot synthesis by spontaneously manipulating the reaction kinetics.
