High yield synthesis of catalytically active five-fold twinned Pt nanorods from a surfactant-ligated precursor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The CO-assisted thermal decomposition of a new, surfactant-ligated Pt precursor, [Pt(acac)(NHR)](n) (n = 2, 3; R = C(18)H(37)), gives structurally uniform five-fold twinned Pt nanorods. The Pt nanorods, mostly covered by {100} facets, exhibit much enhanced electrocatalytic activity over {100} faceted Pt nanocubes, indicating the superior catalytic performance due to the presence of the reactive twinning interface.

Growth and form of gold nanorods prepared by seed-mediated, surfactant-directed synthesis
Gold nanorods were prepared via a seed-mediated sequential growth process involving the use of citratestabilised seed crystals and their subsequent growth in a series of reaction solutions containing [AuCl4] , ascorbic acid and the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonuim bromide (CTAB). Electron diffraction analysis and HRTEM images of mature nanorods showed superpositions of two specific pa...

In this work, Co3O4 nanorods were successfully prepared by microwave-assisted solid state decomposition of rod-like CoC2O4.2H2O precursor within a very short reaction time (6 min) without the use of a solvent/surfactant and complicated equipment. The as-obtained Co3O4 nanorods were fully characterized by X-ray diffract...

متن کاملFacile Growth of High-Yield Gold Nanobipyramids Induced by Chloroplatinic Acid for High Refractive Index Sensing Properties
Au nanobipyramids (NBPs) have attracted great attention because of their unique localized surface plasmon resonance properties. However, the current growth methods always have low yield or suffer tedious process. Developing new ways to direct synthesis of high-yield Au NBPs using common agents is therefore desirable. Here, we employed chloroplatinic acid as the key shape-directing agent for the...
