Abstract: Bimetallic Pt-Pd nanoicosahedrons (NIs) with multiple {111} twins were obtained through a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthesis in a high shape selectivity of 82%. The {111}-enclosed NIs exhibited superior electrocatalytic activities to {111}-enclosed Pt-Pd nanotetrahedrons as well as commercial Pt catalysts (Pt black and Pt/C) for methanol oxidation.<br /> (This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012)
