Pt nanoparticles supported on submicrometer-sized TiO2 spheres for effective methanol and ethanol oxidation

- Submicrometer-sized TiO2 spheres are employed to obtain highly efficient Pt/TiO2 electrocatalyst.
- This electrocatalyst used for alcohol oxidation exhibits quite outstanding property.
- The enhanced catalytic activity of the Pt/TiO2 spheres is owing to the mesoporous active sites and synergistic effect of Pt and TiO2.
