Platinum Concave Nanocubes with High‐Index Facets and Their Enhanced Activity for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Taekyung Yu, Do Youb Kim, Hui Zhang, Younan Xia

📄 Abstract

Many facets: A simple synthetic route, which is based on reduction in aqueous solution, results in Pt concave nanocubes (see picture) enclosed by high-index facets such as {510}, {720}, and {830}. The nanocrystals exhibit electrocatalytic activity (per unit surface area) that is 3.5 times higher than the commercial Pt/C catalyst in the oxygen reduction reaction.
