One-pot synthesis of porous Pt–Au nanodendrites supported on reduced graphene oxide nanosheets toward catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol

Abstract

In this work, a facile, convenient and effective one-pot wet-chemical method was developed for preparation of well-dispersed porous bimetallic Pt–Au alloyed nanodendrites uniformly supported on reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (Pt–Au pNDs/RGOs) at room temperature. The fabrication strategy was efficient and green owing to the use of cytosine as a structure-directing agent and weak stabilizing agent, without employing any organic solvent, template, seed, surfactant, or complicated apparatus. The as-synthesized Pt–Au pNDs/RGOs exhibited significantly enhanced catalytic performance toward the reduction of 4-nitrophenol, as compared to commercial Pt black and home-made Au nanocrystals.
