摘要
Continuous platinum shells consisting of similar to 5 atomic layers were deposited onto preformed gold seeds in aqueous medium by reducing hexachloroplatinic acid with ascorbic acid. By controlling the reduction kinetics of Pt(IV) species and the properties of the substrate, it was possible to ensure a slow and controlled deposition of platinum atoms onto the gold cores. Electrochemical evaluations revealed the presence of a compact platinum shell. The mass specific oxygen reduction activity of platinum in the AuPt core-shell nanoparticles was found to be four times higher than that of platinum black and comparable to that of polycrystalline bulk metal.
