Electrochemical synthesis of AuPt nanoflowers in deep eutectic solvent at low temperature and their application in organic electro-oxidation

Abstract Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), called a new generation of green solvents, have broad applied in synthesis of nanomaterials due to their remarkable physicochemical properties. In this work, we used a unique strategy (adding moderate water (10%) to DES) to effectively prepare nanomaterials. F...
