Carbon monoxide-controlled synthesis of surface-clean Pt nanocubes with high electrocatalytic activity.
A new strategy for synthesis of Pt nanocubes on various supports by reduction of a Pt precursor under a CO atmosphere was described. The as-prepared Pt nanocubes supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes exhibited high activity toward methanol electrooxidation.
