Abstract

This communication reports a remarkably simple templating method for the preparation of Pt nanorods enclosed by high-index {311} facets. Due to the existence of the high-index facets, the as-prepared Pt nanorods exhibit significantly enhanced catalytic properties toward a methanol selective oxidation reaction, compared with that of 3 nm Pt nanoparticles.
