TL;DR: A facile synthesis of Pt-on-Pd bimetallic nanodendrites with a Pd interior and dendritic Pt exterior with superior electrocatalytic activity in comparison with commercial Pt Electrocatalysts is reported.

TL;DR: A facile route to the fabrication of uniform-sized Prussian blue (PB) hollow particles by utilizing a controlled self-etching reaction in the presence of PVP, succeeded in the formation of an interior hollow cavity with the retention of the original PB crystallinity.

TL;DR: Au@Pt nanocolloids with nanostructured dendritic Pt shells are successfully synthesized by chemically reducing both H2PtCl6 and HAuCl4 species in the presence of a low-concentration surfactant solution as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The electrochemical stability of mesoporous Pt-Au alloys toward methanol oxidation was highly improved relative to that of nonporous Pt and mesoporus Pt films, suggesting that mesoporously Pt- au alloy films are potentially applicable as electrocatalysts for direct meethanol fuel cells.

TL;DR: The mesopore walls are composed of connected Pt nanoparticles with around 3 nm in diameter, showing a large number of atomic steps, which can accelerate methanol oxidation reaction as discussed by the authors.
