Synthesis of Structurally Ordered Pt_3Ti and Pt_3V Nanoparticles as Methanol Oxidation Catalysts

摘要

Structurally ordered Pt_3Ti or Pt_3V inter-metallic nanoparticle catalysts with ultrasmall particle sizes have never been successfully synthesized. Herein, we present a KCl-nanoparticle method to successfully provide such compounds. These two catalysts show enhanced catalytic activity and stability for methanol oxidation compared to pure Pt.
