Abstract
according to the high SSA matrix, the presence of the IAF hcp Ni NPs and the development of core-shell structures. Given the simplicity, the flexibility, and the low cost of the proposed synthesis approach, this work opens the doors towards a new family of very active and stable high SSA nanocomposites made by the PDC route containing well dispersed and accessible non-noble transition metals for electrocatalysis applications.
