Simultaneous reduction–etching route to Pt/ZnSnO3 hollow polyhedral architectures for methanol electrooxidation in alkaline media with superior performance

Abstract

In this communication, a simultaneous reduction–etching route is exploited to fabricate Pt/ZnSnO₃ hollow polyhedra. The hollow ZnSnO₃ polyhedron is found to act as a novel and efficient support of Pt-based catalyst for methanol electrooxidation in alkaline media.
