Monodisperse and self-assembled Pt-Cu nanoparticles as an efficient electrocatalyst for the methanol oxidation reaction

Abstract

Monodisperse PtCu nanoparticles have been synthesized and can be self-assembled <italic>via</italic> adding oleylamine (OAM), and they show higher activity, stability and better CO tolerance compared with Pt/C toward the methanol oxidation reaction.
