Abstract

A new class of hollow mesoporous Pt-Ru and Pt particles with uniform size, named 'mesoporous metallic cells', are synthesized through a dual-templating approach using colloidal silica particles and non-ionic surfactants. To realize the full potential of mesoporous metals as electrocatalysts, the shell thicknesses, compositions, and hollow cavity sizes are precisely controlled.
