title: On-substrate, self-standing hollow-wall Pt and PtRu-nanotubes and their electrocatalytic behavior.
abstract: We report on a versatile approach for preparing on-substrate, self-standing and hollow-wall nanotubes (NTs) of Pt and PtRu-alloys. The method takes advantage of wet chemically processed ZnO-NTs that are used as sacrificial templates for electrodeposition. The electrocatalytic activity of these Pt-based NTs is exemplary demonstrated on the electro-oxidation of methanol.
