Facile Solvothermal Synthesis of Pt4Co Multi‐dendrites: An Effective Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction and Glycerol Oxidation

“…Furthermore, the structural defects and atomic steps provide rich catalytic active sites available for oxygen reduction . Besides, the polycrystalline nature of Pt 4 Co MDs is forcefully demonstrated by the selected area electron diffraction (SAED, inset in Figure B) pattern …”

General Strategy for Synthesis of Pd3M (M = Co and Ni) Nanoassemblies as High‐Performance Catalysts for Electrochemical Oxygen Reduction

“…Considering the unique structural superiorities of 3D nanoassemblies, including high porosity, large surface area per unit volume and stable frameworks, one would expect such catalyst to be an ideal candidate for improving metals’ utilization efficiency. These kinds of assemblies can effectively restrain particle aggregation, dissolution, and Ostwald ripening of catalysts, resulting in the excellent electrocatalytic stability . Moreover, the low‐coordinated atoms located at ledges, steps, and kinks on nanoassemblies also can work as additional yet important active sites in enhancing electrocatalysis.…”

Emerging Experimental Strategies for Studies on Inhomogeneous Nanomaterials. Exploring Electronics, Atomic Structure and Properties by Synchrotron X-Ray-Based Techniques

“…NPs of alloys of Pt with transition metals present exceptional catalytic properties (Jiang et al, 2017;Li et al, 2015). The determination of the thin external shell is not evident in polycrystalline Pt alloyed with 3d-transition metals.…”
