Abstract:
Bimetallic Co-Pt nanorods exhibit an enhanced capacity for the production of gas from liquid-phase chemicals. Based on the systematic structural and magnetic characterization we discuss potential applications of these hybrid nanostructures for localized fuel generation in microdevices. Experimental proof of the feasibility for controlling the rate of catalytic reaction via external magnetic stimuli is shown. This unique functionality makes these hybrids promising candidates for optimizing the energy conversion rate in microfluidics fuel cells.
