Ultralong Pt-on-Pd bimetallic nanowires with nanoporous surface: nanodendritic structure for enhanced electrocatalytic activity

Abstract
We for the first time report a facile, wet-chemical strategy for the high-yield (∼100%) synthesis of ultralong Pt-on-Pd bimetallic nanowires (NWs) with the cores being Pd NWs and the shells being made of dendritic Pt, which exhibit high surface area and enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards methanol oxidation reaction.
