“…[15][16][17][18] Coating noble metal nanoparticles with TMB can reduce the catalytic activity however, provide benets like lowering the wt% of noble metal in the catalyst and extending the lifetime of noble metal nanoparticles. TMBs are electrically conductive, 19 chemically active, 11 and have favorable mechanical 20,21,22 and magnetic 23 properties which make them ideal candidates as multifunctional nanoparticle shells.…”
