Abstract

PtCo alloy nanoparticles with different metal elemental ratios (Pt/Co = 0.9, 1.6, 2.9, and 3.6) were prepared by a novel synthetic approach, using the transformation reaction of platinum(IV)/cobalt tetracyanoplatinate metal coordination nano-polymers (Pt(II)-CN-Pt(IV)/Co)via a H2 gas-phase reduction.
