Abstract:Controlling the electronic structure of a catalyst has become an important approach to tune and optimize its antipoisoning ability and catalytic efficiency for a chemical reaction. Using d‐mannitol as a structure‐directing agent to induce size transformation and twinned defects in copper particles, penta‐twinned Cu elongated pentagonal bipyramids as supports have been synthesized, and HAuCl4 is reduced in situ to form an AuCu alloy on the surface of Cu, generating a self‐supporting AuCu@Cu core–shell structure… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
