Bimetallic nanostructured core-shell structures are commonly used as catalysts in a wide variety of reactions. We surmised that the addition of an additional metal would potentially allow catalytic tailoring with the possibility of an increase in activity. Here a tri-metallic catalytic structure, consisting of clustered catalytic Pt on the surface of a Pd shell supported on a rod shaped Au core was fabricated. The significance of the additional metallic component is shown by comparative electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) analysis results for the trimetallic Aurod-Pdshell-Ptcluster, bimetallic Aurod-Ptcluster and monometallic JM-Pt (used as a reference), which have respective ECSA values (cm(2)/mgPt) of 1883.0, 1371.7 and 879. The potential utility of the trimetallic catalysts was shown in a hydrogen peroxide sensing protocol, which showed the catalyst to have a sensitivity of 604 ìA/mMcm(2) within a linear range of 0.0013-6.191 mM.
双金属纳米结构的核壳结构通常被用作各种反应的催化剂。我们推测,添加额外的金属可能会潜在地允许进行催化调整,并有可能提高其活性。在这里,我们制备了一种由聚集在棒状 Au 核上的 Pd 壳表面上的 Pt 簇组成的三金属催化结构。通过对三金属 Aurod-Pd 壳-Pt 簇、双金属 Aurod-Pt 簇和单金属 JM-Pt(用作参考)的电化学活性表面积(ECSA)分析结果进行比较,显示出额外金属成分的重要性,它们的 ECSA 值(cm²/mgPt)分别为 1883.0、1371.7 和 879。在过氧化氢传感方案中,展示了三金属催化剂的潜在实用性,该方案表明催化剂在 0.0013-6.191 mM 的线性范围内具有 604 μA/mMcm²的灵敏度。
