Lattice Distorted Pt Wrinkle Nanoparticles for Efficient Hydrogen Electrocatalysis

Introducing lattice distortion to modulate the surface of platinum (Pt) has become an extremely effective strategy to significantly enhance the kinetics of hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions in alkaline environments.In this study, we prepared lattice distorted platinum wrinkle nanoparticles (LD-Pt WNPs) for efficient hydrogen electrocatalysis.LD-Pt WNPs not only surpassed the performance of the Pt/C benchmark … Read more
