摘要
Nanostructures containing Pt-flecks on Ag colloids (Pt boolean AND Ag) were prepared by Pt deposition from citrate reduction of (PtCl62-)-Cl-IV or (PtCl42-)-Cl-II ions. The nanostructures prepared from (PtCl62-)-Cl-IV showed more or less Pt-Ag alloying d Ue to the galvanic replacement reaction between (PtCl62-)-Cl-IV and metallic Ag colloids. The Pt-Ag alloying at the surface of Ag colloids was manipulated by tuning the atomic Pt/Ag ratio (m) during preparation. It was demonstrated that a proper Pt-Ag alloying in a narrow composition window (0.47 <= m >= 0.53) can led to a dramatic activity enhancement of Pt, up to one order of magnitude higher, for methanol electro-oxidation.
