Abstract:We report a mild, one‐pot synthesis of PdPtAuAgCuIr multimetallic nanocrystals with controlled shapes and explore their applications as the electrocatalysts for ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline medium. The success of current synthesis relies on the co‐reduction of six metal precursors in the presence of octadecylammonium chloride and ascorbic acid at an elevated temperature. The resulting products are featured with an in‐plane core‐shell structure, together with the trigonal/hexagonal plate decorated with … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
