چکیده
A novel nanostructure of a PtAu catalyst, alloyed PtAu nanodendrites, has been synthesized via a reproducible single-step hydrothermal co-reduction of Pt and Au inorganic precursors and shows exceptionally high catalytic activity towards the electrooxidation of formic acid.

Characterization of Au and Bimetallic PtAu Nanoparticles on PDDA-Graphene Sheets as Electrocatalysts for Formic Acid Oxidation
Nanocomposite materials of the Au nanoparticles (Au/PDDA-G) and the bimetallic PtAu nanoparticles on poly-(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)-modified graphene sheets (PtAu/PDDA-G) were prepared with hydrothermal method at 90 °C for 24 h. The composite materials Au/PDDA-G and PtAu/PDDA-G were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron...
متن کاملRu-assisted synthesis of Pd/Ru nanodendrites with high activity for ethanol electrooxidation.
Due to the specific physical and chemical properties of a highly branched noble metal, the controllable synthesis has attracted much attention. This article reports the synthesis of Pd/Ru nanodendrites by a facile method using an oil bath in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, potassium bromide and ascorbic acid. The morphology, structure, and composition of the as-prepared catalysts were ch...
متن کاملDesign and growth of dendritic Cu2 xSe and bunchy CuSe hierarchical crystalline aggregations†
Dendritic nanocrystals of copper selenide were fabricated in situ for the first time by using alcohol as the solvent. Cu2 xSe films composed of hierarchically ordered dendritic nanostructures were prepared on Cu substrates at a rather moderate temperature of 190–200 C for just 1–3 h, while bunchy CuSe nanostructures could be further constructed above the Cu2 xSe dendrites by prolonging the reac...
متن کاملMicroglial neuroinflammation contributes to tau accumulation in chronic traumatic encephalopathy
The chronic effects of repetitive head impacts (RHI) on the development of neuroinflammation and its relationship to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) are unknown. Here we set out to determine the relationship between RHI exposure, neuroinflammation, and the development of hyperphosphorylated tau (ptau) pathology and dementia risk in CTE. We studied a cohort of 66 deceased American footbal...
متن کاملHierarchical ZnO Nanostructures with Blooming Flowers Driven by Screw Dislocations
Hierarchical ZnO nanostructures with a large yield were fabricated by a simple thermal evaporation method. For the first time, novel ZnO flowers were observed blooming at certain sites of a variety of spines, identified as Zn-terminated polar (0001) planes or tips. The spines for as-synthesized hierarchical structures can be nanowires, nanobelts, nanodendrites, nanobrushes, etc. This growth phe...
