Zhang et al. [142] further investigated ORR activities of the shape controlled nanocrystals by using RDE measurements. The ORR measurements were conducted in an 02-saturated 0.1 M HCIO4 solution at 295 K. A characteristic set of polarization curves at 900 rpm for the ORR on Pt3Ni nano-octahedra, Pt3Ni nanocubes, and Pt nanocubes are displayed in Fig. 10.17a. After mass transport...

The synthesis and characterization of monodisperse SnS nanocrystals and the means by which shape control may be effected through judiciously varying the ratio of ligands in the reaction mixture are reported. The nanoparticles may subsequently be linked to conducting transparent substrates, and their optoelectronic responses are investigated. A photocurrent in the range of 6-8 nA cm was recorded for sub-monolayer amounts of the materials on ITO.
