News and Notes
interactions within the CFN community
April 3, 2017
CFN scientist Dong Su in the control room of the aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (Hitachi HD2700C). On the computer screens are images of the platinum-based nanoplates that Su and his collaborators developed. The nanoplates have a thick, ordered shell of platinum that surrounds a platinum and lead alloyed core. This special structure is thought to be behind the high catalytic activity and stability of the nanoplates.
