Abstract

Abstract : Yulin Min, Yanguang Li, Qiao Zhang, and co‐workers have developed a simple solvothermal method to prepare PtNi alloyed colloidal nanocrystal clusters (CNCs). As described in article number1704774, the as‐prepared CNCs are composed of many PtNi nanocrystals with size around 7–8 nm and form a porous and interconnected steady framework. The as‐prepared PtNi CNCs show great catalytic performance in the methanol oxidation reaction.
