Dendritic Au/Pt and Au/PtCu nanowires with enhanced electrocatalytic activity for methanol electrooxidation.
The high-yield synthesis of dendritic Au/Pt and Au/PtCu nanowires is achieved through an effective heterogeneous, epitaxial growth strategy conducted in the water-phase to grow dendritic Pt and PtCu nanoshells on Au nanowires. The synthesized products exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity towards methanol electrooxidation.
