Electrochemical synthesis of core–shell nanoparticles by seed-mediated selective deposition
Joon Ho Park, Seon‐Mi Jin, Eunji Lee, Hyun S. Ahn
Abstract
-row transition metal shells were constructed with facile and precise thickness control. This type of metal-on-metal core-shell synthesis by purely electrochemical means is the first of its kind. The applicability of the nanoparticle decorated electrodes was demonstrated by alkaline oxygen evolution catalysis, during which the Au-Ni example displayed stable catalysis with low overpotential.
