Strain effects in core-shell PtCo nanoparticles: a comparison of experimental observations and computational modelling

Strain in Pt nanoalloys induced by the secondary metal has long been suggested as a major contributor to the modification of catalytic properties. Here, we investigate strain in PtCo nanoparticles using a combination of computational modelling and microscopy experiments. We have used a combination o...
