The Pt-rich shell coated Ni nanoparticles in size of 8.9-12.1 nm were synthesized by chemical deposition via successive reduction of NiCl(2) and H(2)PtCl(6), respectively, in an ethylene glycol solution and characterized by TEM, XPS, ICP-AES, and XRD techniques. The electrochemical evaluation showed that as-prepared core-shell structural nanoparticles, as a catalyst for methanol electro-oxidation in alkaline media, not only exhibited better catalytic activity and resistance to carbonaceous intermediate poison than pure solid Pt nanoparticles but also decreased wastage of expensive Pt.
