Surfactant-free synthesis of Cu2O yolk-shell cubes decorated with Pt nanoparticles for enhanced H2O2 detection

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Jul 26;54(61):8458-8461. doi: 10.1039/c8cc03742f.

Abstract

Pt decorated yolk-shell Cu2O cubes are obtained using a surfactant-free and multiple-step method. Porous yolk-shell cubic structures, together with synergistic effects between Pt and Cu2O, endow the yolk-shell Pt-Cu2O based nonenzymatic H2O2 sensors with enhanced sensing performance.
