摘要
Platinum submonolayer decorated gold nanorods with controlled coverage were prepared by the addition of Au nanorods into the growth solution of Pt in the presence of NH20H - HCI as the growth agent. The properties of Au nanorods decorated by Pt submonolayer were investigated by various techniques including transimission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electrochemical methods. The Pt decorated Au nanorods on carbon black showed significantly higher activity on formic acid electrooxidation than the conventional Pt/C catalysts. They showed different reaction path of formic acid electrooxidation by suppressing the formation of poisoning intermediate CO. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
