Highly-branched mesoporous Au-Pd-Pt trimetallic nanoflowers blooming on reduced graphene oxide as an oxygen reduction electrocatalyst.
Herein, we develop a one-pot, two surfactant-assisted synthesis of highly-branched mesoporous Au-Pd-Pt trimetallic nanoflowers blooming on rGO with superior electrochemical performance for the ORR. Similarly to the interaction between Pluronic F127 and hexadecylpyridinium chloride (HDPC), this method may be extended to other nonionic/ionic surfactants to synthesize all-metal branched porous nanoparticles, and shows promising applications in electrochemistry and catalysis.
