Facile Fabrication of Platinum-Cobalt Alloy Nanoparticles with Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity for a Methanol Oxidation Reaction

“…Until now, various physical and chemical synthesis methods of Pt-based alloy NPs have been surveyed, including incipient wetness19, wet impregnation202122, the polyol method23242526, electrochemical deposition272829, the colloidal method303132, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD)163334. However, these methods are subject to intrinsic drawbacks, such as (a) complicated multistep processes, including mixing, precipitation, and cleaning; (b) catalyst poisoning by chemical residues and lack of a “clean” surface; (c) strict conditions required for alloying; and (d) high vacuum sputtering and advanced patterning equipment, similar to the CVD process.…”
