The molar ratio of Pt to Cu was 1 ： 1. Further, the Pt-Cu bimetallic nanoparticles were supported on alumina and their catalytic behavior in methane combustion was investigated. The as-prepared as well as the supported Pt-Cu nanoparticles were characterized by transmission elec- tron microscopy （TEM）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, fractal analysis and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The dependence of methane combustion on the morphology and surface composition of Pt-Cu nanoparticles was analyzed based on the experimental results.展开更多

In this work, we report the elctrocatalytic oxidation of methanol and formic acid in acid medium over concave Pt-Cu-Fe ternary nanocubes（NCs）, obtained by the galvanic exchange of Pt and Fe on Cu NCs. The concave Pt-Cu-Fe NCs exhibited improved electrooxidation performance contrasted to Pt-Cu NCs and purchased commercial Pt/C as demonstrated by their improved durability, lower onset potential, and more preferable anti-poisoning properties. These properties are believed to originate from the tailored concave structure of the catalyst and possible synergetic effects among the components of the Pt-Cu-Fe NCs.展开更多

Herein, Pt-Cu alloy NCs with concave octahedron （COH）, porous octahedron （POH）, yolk-shell （YSH）, and nanoflower （NOF） structures were fabricated by altering the sequential reduction kinetics in a one-pot aqueous phase. The effect of the reaction kinetics on the formation of Pt-Cu bimetallic NCs with different morphologies was analyzed quantitatively. The concentrations of glycine and metal cation are demonstrated to play a key role in the reduction of Pt（Ⅳ） and Cu（Ⅱ） ions; these significantly affected the morphology of Pt-Cu NCs. These Pt-Cu alloy NCs exhibit substantially enhanced catalytic activity and durability for methanol and formic acid oxidation compared to the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Specifically, the COH and NOF Pt-Cu NCs with more step atoms, intragranular dislocations, and protrusions showed superior electrochemical properties than those of POH and YSH Pt-Cu NCs. The structure- property relationship between the Pt-Cu NCs and their electrochemical performances was also investigated in depth.展开更多
