摘要
A novel honeycomb nanosphere bimetallic catalyst with a diameter of 27.5 +/- 1.8 nm was formed by the self-assembly of the ultrafine irregular cubic Au@Pt nanoparticles (4.6 +/- 0.5 nm). The vital role of CAB in the formation of the honeycomb nanosphere was discussed. The specific (mass) activity of this catalyst is ca. 2.5 (1.6) times that of Pt black for methanol electrooxidation and 3.2 (2.3) times that of Pt black for formic acid electrooxidation. The excellent electrochemistry performance may be attributed to the electronic interaction between Au and Pt and the unique structure of the honeycomb nanosphere. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
