Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
In this paper, a new galvanic displacement reduction (GDR) approach was demonstrated for Au-PtNPs synthesis with different Pt:Au compositions in an aqueous medium. PtNPs were initially synthesized by the reduction of H PtCl using trisodium citrate and sodium borohydride. Addition of various concentrations of HAuCl to PtNPs leads to the formation of Au-PtNPs, which follows the GDR between Pt(0) and AuCl ions. The formation of Au-PtNPs was monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy by tuning the mole ratio of Pt:Au. HR-TEM images showed that the Au-PtNPs were spherical with 11 nm diameter. HR-TEM, XRD and XPS analysis showed that the formed Au-PtNPs were in the form of a core-shell structure. The colloidal Au-PtNPs were then attached on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode via a 1,6-hexanediamine linker for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The attachment of Au-PtNPs was further confirmed by XRD, line scanning coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The Au-PtNPs modified electrode exhibits a higher heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant of 4.12 × 10 cm s than bare (1.01 × 10 cm s ) and PtNP (1.77 × 10 cm s ) modified GC electrodes. Further, the Au-PtNPs modified electrode exhibited a composition dependent activity towards the MOR and ORR. It was found that the modified electrode with a Pt:Au ratio of 1:0.09 shows 8 times more sensitive oxidation for the MOR when compared to a commercial Pt/C catalyst. The present Au-PtNPs catalyst exhibits a greatly enhanced catalytic activity in terms of mass activity (132 mA mg Pt ) and excellent stability relative to the commercial Pt/C catalyst.
