title: Axially twinned nanodumbbell with a Pt bar and two Rh@Pt balls designed for high catalytic activity.
abstract: A fail-proof synthetic strategy has been developed for a multiply twinned dumbbell-shaped Rh@Pt nanostructure, which exhibits a superior electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation reaction. The unusually high electrocatalytic activity has been attributed to the synergistic effects of crystal twinning and core-shell structure.
