Enhanced electrocatalytic activity of Cu-modified, high-index single Pt NPs for formic acid oxidation
Ke Huang, Richard M. Crooks
Abstract
Single-crystal Pt nanoparticles with a diameter of ∼200 nm were electrosynthesized, covered with a single monolayer of Cu, and then fully characterized. The resulting materials exhibit excellent electrocatalytic properties for formic acid oxidation.
