Efficient Rapid Microwave-Assisted Route to Synthesize Monodispersive Pt Nanoparticles and Their Electrocatalytic Activity for Methanol Oxidation

Efficient Rapid Microwave-Assisted Route to Synthesize Monodispersive Pt Nanoparticles and Their Electrocatalytic Activity for Methanol Oxidation

High monodispersive Pt nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared via two facile and environmentally-friendly procedures, either through a traditional solvothermal route (T-Pt NPs) or via a microwave-assisted route (M-Pt NPs). The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows the high Monodispersity for...
