Abstract:
Faceted platinum nanocrystals supported on carbon nanotubes were prepared using NO2- as a crucial shape-controlling agent. The composites exhibit high electrochemical catalytic activity for oxygen reduction facilitated by the cooperation between the Pt{111} facets and atomic steps, and extremely high selectivity for the oxidation of glycerol to glyceraldehyde.
