Abstract

Bimetallic Pt-Pd nanoicosahedrons (NIs) with multiple (111) twins were obtained through a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthesis in a high shape selectivity of 82%. The (111)-enclosed NIs exhibited superior electrocatalytic activities to (111)-enclosed Pt-Pd nanotetrahedrons as well as commercial Pt catalysts (Pt black and Pt/C) for methanol oxidation.
