Engineering bunched RhTe nanochains for efficient methanol oxidation electrocatalysis

Herein, a two-step method is proposed to synthesize bunched RhTe nanochains (RhTe NCs) using Te nanowires and formic acid both as a reductant and a structure-directing agent. The resultant RhTe NCs possess a high electrochemical active surface area of 89.3 m 2 g Rh −1 , and exhibit superior catalyti...

Zusammenfassung:Herein, a two-step method is proposed to synthesize bunched RhTe nanochains (RhTe NCs) using Te nanowires and formic acid both as a reductant and a structure-directing agent. The resultant RhTe NCs possess a high electrochemical active surface area of 89.3 m 2 g Rh −1 , and exhibit superior catalytic activity and durability towards the electro-oxidation of methanol in an alkaline medium. We report a two-step method for the synthesis of bunched RhTe nanochains for excellent electro-oxidation of methanol.
