biostudies-literatureUnknown8(17)Peng HCuPt nanodendrites have special electrocatalytic performance due to their unique morphologies and structures. In this work, we report a facile and one-pot synthesis of highly branched and dispersed CuPt nanodendrites with a size of about 22 nm and Pt/Cu ratio of 2 : 1. X-ray photoelectron spectra indicate a Pt-rich surface of the prepared CuPt nanodendrites. The combination of a highly branched structure with a Pt-rich shell would be very beneficial for catalytic properties, which was confirmed by electrochemical tests towards MOR. A systematic study on morphology evolution of the products and understanding of their growth mechanism was carried out using the effects of reaction time and reducing agents.RSC advances9293-9298https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9078692biostudies-literatureOne-pot synthesis of CuPt nanodendrites with enhanced activity towards methanol oxidation reaction.PMC9078692Peng HLi YHe JXie HQi WWu HfalseOne-pot synthesis of CuPt nanodendrites with enhanced activity towards methanol oxidation reaction.CuPt nanodendrites have special electrocatalytic performance due to their unique morphologies and structures.
