title: High aspect ratio rhodium nanostructures for tunable electrocatalytic performance.
abstract: Rh nanoneedles and nanorods have been generated with the help of functional molecules like hexamethylene tetraamine and tridecylamine (1:2 in mM scale) as effective capping agents for electrocatalytic studies. A noteworthy negative shift of the onset potential towards the electrooxidation of formic acid compared to that of bulk Rh from cyclic voltammetry along with current densities from current-time transient suggests their potential application as an efficient electrocatalyst for fuel cell.
