title: Concave Pd-Pt Core-Shell Nanocrystals with Ultrathin Pt Shell Feature and Enhanced Catalytic Performance.
abstract: One-pot creation of unique concave Pd-Pt core-shell polyhedra has been developed for the first time using an efficient approach. Due to the concave feature and ultrathin Pt shell, the created Pd-Pt core-shell polyhedra exhibit enhanced catalytic performance in both the electrooxidation of methanol and hydrogenation of nitrobenzene, as compared with commercial Pt black and Pd black catalysts.
