Facile Synthesis of Sea-Urchin-Like Pt and Pt/Au Nanodendrites and Their Enhanced Electrocatalytic Properties
This Communication demonstrates a novel and facial approach to achieving monodispersed seaurchin-like Pt nanodendrites under a 1 bar hydrogen environment at 165 degrees C. These Pt nanodendrites can be further used as seeds for the formation of Pt/Au nanodendrites. Both Pt and Pt/Au nanodendrites exhibit the desired eletrocatalytic activities for the methanol oxidation reaction.
