| Abstract: | Platinum–copper nanoframes were produced from copper nanoparticles by a one‐pot synthesis method. The growth mechanism was thoroughly studied by experiment and theoretical calculations. Owing to the unique structure, Pt‐Cu nanoframes exhibited significantly enhanced catalytic activity toward the electro‐oxidation of methanol compared to commercial Pt black. |
