Abstract:
Ultrathin and ultralong: Highly uniform, ultrathin (diameter 5-7 nm), and ultralong (aspect ratio >10(4)) PtPdTe nanowires (NWs) were synthesized by using a facile method employing Te NWs as both sacrificial templates and reducing agents. Fine-tuning of the molar ratios of Pt and Pd precursors afforded PtPdTe NWs with different compositions and enhanced electroactivity in the methanol oxidation reaction in comparison with a commercial Pt/C catalyst.
