Published in Journal of Physics: Conference Series, vol. 522(1), pp 12066-12069Microwave-irradiation (MW) synthesis of nanostructured materials provides for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, using fast and uniform heating rates. This procedure affords better control of the shape and size of the nanoparticles when compared to conventional methods. In this work, microwave-irradiation was used to produce platinum-cobalt (Pt-Co) and platinum-nickel (Pt-Ni) nanoparticles for use as electrocatalysts in the methanol oxidation reaction. High resolution TEM imaging and EELS studies revealed that these bimetallic nanoparticles form islands or hetero-structures.enMicrowave-irradiationMWNanostructured materialsBimetallic nanoparticlesHigh resolution TEM imagingPlatinum-cobalt (Pt-Co)ArticleMathe, N.
