Abstract:Cu-based nanocrystals are desirable for high efficiency catalysis, although they are easily oxidized under ambient conditions. Alloying Au and Cu provides the strategy for Cu-contained nanocrystals toward both high stability and high catalytic activity. However, a synthetic method of homogeneous alloy nanocrystals with tunable composition in aqueous solutions is lacking. Specific composition for achieving both enhanced stability and high catalytic activity remains elusive. Herein, coreduction of Au 3+ and Cu 2… Show more
