Tailoring the composition of ultrathin, ternary alloy PtRuFe nanowires for the methanol oxidation reaction and formic acid oxidation reaction

Abstract

We have synthesized novel ultrathin ternary PtRuFe nanowires (NW) and probed both their methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) activities as a function of chemical composition.
