Abstract

Shape-controlled catalysis: High-quality Pt-Cu nanocubes with an average size of about 8 nm (see picture, scale bar=20 nm) were synthesized from a high-temperature organic solution system in the presence of various capping ligands. These cubic Pt-Cu nanocrystals terminated with {100} facets demonstrated a superior catalytic activity towards methanol oxidation compared to similar sized Pt-Cu and Pt nanospheres.
