Abstract

Abstract : Ultrathin Pt layers can be generated on Pd and Au nanocrystals by coordination effect assisted synthesis for the oxygen reduction reaction. Abstract : This communication reports a remarkably simple method for the deposition of ultrathin Pt layers on second metal nanocrystals based on the fine control of the deposition rate by the coordination effect. Compared with commercial Pt/C catalysts, the as-prepared ultrathin Pt layers exhibit significantly enhanced catalytic properties toward the oxygen reduction reaction.
