Abstract
|
In this study, Fe3O4@Pt core-shell nanoparticles are synthesized by a fast and simple synthesis method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are used to investigate the crystallinity, surface morphology and chemical structural. The electrocatalytic activity of the Fe3O4@Pt nanoparticles towards formic acid oxidation has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. The obtained results indicate that the Fe3O4@Pt core-shell nanoparticles show better electrocatalytic performance towards the formic acid oxidation in compared with the Pt-alone nanoparticles.
