Graphical Abstract
In good shape: By varying the amount of glycine present, the shape of Pt–Ni alloy nanocrystals could be tuned from concave nanocubes (CNCs) to nanocubes and hexoctahedra (HOHs; see picture). Glycine was used to manipulate the nucleation and growth rates of the Pt–Ni alloy NCs for the formation of CNCs by self-assembly and HOHs by control of crystal growth. Pt–Ni CNCs and HOHs showed excellent electrocatalytic properties. PVP=polyvinylpyrrolidone.
Abstract
The shape-controlled synthesis of multicomponent metal nanocrystals (NCs) bounded by high-index facets (HIFs) is of significant importance in the design and synthesis of high-activity catalysts. We report herein the preparation of Pt–Ni alloy NCs by tuning their shape from concave-nanocubic (CNC) to nanocubic and hexoctahedral (HOH). Owing to the synergy of the HIFs and the electronic effect of the Pt–Ni alloy, the as-prepared CNC and HOH Pt–Ni alloy NCs exhibited excellent catalytic properties for the electrooxidation of methanol and formic acid, as well as for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
