Developing metallic nanocatalysts with high reaction activity, selectivity and practical
durability is a promising and active subfield in electrocatalysis. In the classical “bottom‐up” …

Fabrication of 3d metal‐based core@ shell nanocatalysts with engineered Pt‐surfaces
provides an effective approach for improving the catalytic performance. The challenges in …

PtNi nanoparticle catalysts supported on oxygen functionalized carbon nanotubes were
prepared by microwave-assisted polyol reduction using two different modes of irradiation …

Pt-decorated nanoporous gold (Pt-NPG) leaf was prepared by depositing an atomically thin
layer of Pt over NPG substrate where Pt overlayers grow epitaxially on NPG surfaces. Their …

We report the facile synthesis of carbon supported PtAu alloy nanoparticles with high
electrocatalytic activity as anode catalysts for direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs). PtAu …

Platinum-modified Au nanoparticles on a carbon support were prepared using carbon-
supported Au nanoparticles as a substrate and a successive reduction process. These …

We have investigated the heterogeneous catalytic mechanism of methanol oxidation on the
PtAu (111) and PtPd (111) surfaces. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and …

Nanocomposites of Pt: Au (ratios 1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 3 and 1: 4) on activated carbon were
synthesized using a novel synthetic route, leading to materials with surface enrichment of Pt …

We have investigated the oxidation of HCOOH on Au-modified Pt (Au@ Pt) and Pt-modified
Au (Pt@ Au) electrodes to establish the role of the ensemble and the electronic effect in the …

Inhibiting CO formation can more directly address the problem of CO poisoning during
methanol electro‐oxidation. In this study, 1D self‐supported porous PtAuP alloy nanotube …
