Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
To design Pt-based materials with a hollow structure via a galvanic reaction would be one of the effective ways to prepare electro- catalysts with high activity. The galvanic reaction between Pt ions and metal template is usually conducted under limited conditions, which makes the preparation of Pt hollow nanoparticles laborious. Here, we introduce a one-step and one-pot synthetic approach for the preparation of carbon-supported PtNi alloy hollow nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution. Prepared PtNi alloys were characterized by a nonporous shell consisting of a Pt-enriched surface layer and an inner alloy layer of Pt and Ni. Due to its unique structural advantages, this material showed excellent electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction (3.3- and 7.8-fold enhanced mass and specific activities compared to those of a commercial carbon-supported Pt nanoparticle). A possible mechanism for the formation of PtNi hollow structure is suggested. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
