| Abstract | We describe the synthesis of aggregated dendrimer-like and interconnected peanut-like Pt nanostructures by solvothermal routes and their catalytic and electrocatalytic performance. The aggregated dendrimer-like Pt nanostructures with an average size of 10 nm are obtained in ethanol medium in the presence of shape-regulating polymer poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride). The interconnected peanut-like nanoparticles of ∼100 nm with porous surface structure are synthesized by a modified polyol route in the absence of any shape-regulating reagents. The nanoparticles are characterized by transmission electron microscopic and electrochemical measurements. The mass specific electrochemically accessible surface area of interconnected peanut-like nanoparticles is 47% higher than the aggregated dendrimer-like nanoparticles. The catalytic performance of these nanoparticles towards hydrogenation of unsaturated alcohols is evaluated. The interconnected peanut-like nanoparticles show a highest turnover frequency (TOF, h−1) of 550 at a catalyst loading of 0.1 mole%. The nanoparticles are loaded onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes and their electrocatalytic activity towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is evaluated in terms of onset potential, specific and mass activities. The kinetics of ORR was examined with a rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) system. The interconnected peanut-like nanoparticles have a high positive onset potential of 1.06 V with a specific and mass activity of 279 μA cmPt−2 and 47.5 μA μgPt−1, respectively, at a potential of 0.9 V. The specific activity towards ORR of the interconnected peanut-like Pt nanostructures is significantly higher than the aggregated dendrimer-like and quasispherical nanoparticles. Both catalytic and electrocatalytic measurements indicate that the shape and surface structure have a great control over their activity. The remarkable catalytic and electrocatalytic activity is accounted for the large surface area and existence of surface defects. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
