主 题:trimetallic rhombic dodecahedron excavated corrosion stepped atoms
摘 要:Multimetallic Pt-based alloys with excavated structures have attracted great interest owing to their compositional and morphological tunability, high specific surface areas, and impressive electro-catalytic activities. Herein, we report the first facile one-pot synthesis of trimetallic Pt-Ni-Cu highly excavated rhombic dodecahedrons (ERDs) with a yield approaching 100%. More importantly, these highly uniform nanocrystals have three-dimensionally accessible excavated surfaces, where abundant stepped atoms are observed. Benefiting from the highly excavated rhombic dodecahedral structures, electronic and synergistic effects within the trimetallic allo3~ and abundant stepped atoms, the as-prepared trimetallic Pt-Ni-Cu ERDs exhibit an enhanced electro-catalytic performance for the electro-oxidation of methanol compared to commercial Pt/C and bimetallic Pt-Cu ERDs and Pt-Ni-Cu solid rhombic dodecahedrons solid rhombic dodecahedrons (SRDs).
