Microwave-assisted synthesis of mutually embedded Rh concave nanocubes with enhanced electrocatalytic activity.

ABSTRACT: Novel mutually embedded Rh concave nanocubes were synthesized by reducing Rh(acac)₃ in tetraethylene glycol in the presence of benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium, KI and polyvinylpyrrolidone under microwave irradiation for 120 s. KI and HDBAC were crucial to the formation of mutually embedded nanostructures. The as-prepared Rh nanocrystals exhibited higher electrocatalytic activity and stability.
