One-pot facile synthesis of PtCu coated nanoporous gold with unique catalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction
Abstract
A facile one-pot protocol to fabricate a PtCu coated nanoporous gold (NPG) catalyst (PtCu@NPG) is described here. PtCu@NPG prepared by this novel method not only preserves the NPG 3-D nanostructure but it also presents a unique catalytic activity and durability toward the oxygen reduction reaction.
