We report a facile synthesis of Pt–Pd bimetallic nanoparticles, named “metallic nanocages”,
with a hollow interior and porous dendritic shell. This synthesis is easily achieved by …

Developing new synthetic methods for the controlled synthesis of Pt‐based or non‐Pt
nanocatalysts with low or no Pt loading to facilitate sluggish cathodic oxygen reduction …

Electrochemical energy conversion and storage play crucial roles in meeting the increasing
demand for renewable, portable, and affordable power supplies for society. The rapid …

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC), among the most suited and prospective alternatives for
portable electronics, have lately been treated with nanotechnology. DMFCs may be able to …

Abstract Rechargeable lithium–air (O 2) batteries have received much attention due to their
extremely high theoretical energy densities, which far exceeds that of current lithium-ion …

In this perspective, the catalytic shortfalls of contemporary DMFCs are discussed in the
context of the materials that are currently being employed as electrocatalysts in both the …
