摘要：Surface tailoring of Pt-based nanocatalysts is an effective pathway to promote their electrocatalytic performance and ***,we report two kinds of one-dimensional(1D)ultrafine PtCu nanowires(smooth surface&rugged surface)synthesized via a wet chemical method and their distinct catalytic performances in electro-oxidation of *** alloyed PtCu nanowires having rough surfaces with atomic steps exhibit superior catalytic activity toward multiple electrochemical reactions compared with the smooth *** functional theory simulations show the excellent reactivity of rugged PtCu na-nowires and attribute it to the surface synergetic Pt-Cu site which accounts for the promotion of water dissociation and the dehydrogenation of the carboxyl *** current study provides an insight into reasonable design of alloy nanocatalysts in energy-related electrocatalytic systems.
