  • Nanoframes with three-dimensional electrocatalytic surfaces
    Patent number: 10686195
    Abstract: Described herein are bimetallic nanoframes and methods for producing bimetallic nanoframes. A method may include providing a solution including a plurality of nanoparticles dispersed in a solvent, and exposing the solution to oxygen to convert the plurality of nanoparticles into a plurality of nanoframes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2020
    Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, UChicago Argonne, LLC
