Abstract
A facile, one-step and template-free electrodeposition method has been developed for the first time to prepare porous Pt nanoflowers. The flowerlike architectures were confirmed by SEM, and further structurally characterized by XRD and electrochemical analyses. Compared to conventional nanosized Pt catalysts, as-prepared Pt nanoflowers exhibit remarkably higher catalytic activity and stronger poisoning-tolerance for the methanol electro-oxidation, and thus they are anticipated to find interesting applications in many important fields such as energy and catalysis.
