Herein, we present a high-temperature self-assembly strategy that directly allows the transformation of adsorbed Pt(NH3)42+ and Fe3+ sources into structurally ordered face-centered tetragonal (fct)-PtFe alloy NPs (2.6 ± 0.2 nm).
The first example of the preparation of nitrogen-doped holey carbon (NHC) with abundant in-plane holes derived from a rigid macrocycle cucurbit[6]uril self-assembly is reported.
The exploration of highly efficient catalysts to replace noble metal platinum for the oxygen reduction reaction, on which M/N/C catalysts have shed brilliant light, is greatly significant but challenging.
