Facile Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties of Intermetallic PtPb Nanodendrites
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report on a facile and environment-friendly route to synthesize intermetallic PtPb nanodendrites with controllable compositions. This involves a hydrothermal-assisted coreduction of Pt and Pb inorganic precursors by formic acid in aqueous solutions without the use of any surfactant or polymer. Our systematic structural characterization and in situ electrochemical infrared spectroscopic studies of the formed PtPb nanodendrites reveal that the underlying morphogenesis, resulting from the intermetallic phase evolution from a Pt-based face-centered cubic to a PtPb hexagonal type, is responsible for the significant improvement of electrocatalytic activities toward the electrochemical oxidation of formic acid. A foreign-particles-induced growth mechanism is proposed to account for the underlying dendritic growth process. The facile approach described in this study is further demonstrated to be universal for growing a variety of intermetallic nanodendrites, thus opening a door to develop and study novel nanodendritic materials.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
