One-dimensional (1D) CoPt nanorods were synthesized by a galvanic displacement reaction. The morphology of the nanomaterials was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis confirmed the coexistence of Co and Pt in the 1D nanorods. Studies of cyclic voltammetry (CV) demonstrated that the 1D CoPt nanorods exhibit a better electrocatalytic property for CO oxidation than that of bulk Pt electrode does. In situ electrochemical FTIRS illustrated, for the first time, that the 1D CoPt nanorods display abnormal infrared effects (AIREs), which was previously revealed mainly on 2D film nanomaterials.
Graphical abstractIt has revealed, for the first time, that the 1D CoPt nanorods present abnormal infrared effects (AIREs). The substrate materials do not affect significantly the anomalous IR features.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
