Abstract
⺠We demonstrate the morphology effect of Pt catalysts in electrooxidation of ethanol and CO in an acidic solution. ⺠Pt nanowires and nanoparticles were used as catalysts. ⺠Pt nanowires display a higher catalytic activity by a factor of at least two relative to those nanoparticles for ethanol oxidation. ⺠The rate for CO monolayer oxidation exhibits similar morphology-dependent behavior with a markedly enhanced rate on the Pt nanowires.
