Unlike other shapes, the design of tetrahedral Pt nanocrystals (Pt-NTd), which have the largest number of Pt(111) surface atoms and highest catalytic activities toward the electron transfer reactions, has widely been ...

In a facile approach, Pd73Pt27 alloy nanowires (NWs) with large aspect ratios were synthesized in high yield by using sacrificial templates. Unlike majority of processes, our synthesis was carried out in aqueous solution ...
