Au-Ir alloy nanofibers synthesized from Au-Ir/IrO2 composites via thermal hydrogen treatment: Application for glucose oxidation

This paper reports the facile formation of the alloy nanofibers of highly immiscible Au and Ir with diverse composition ratios (denoted as TH2_AuxIr1−x, x = 0.05, 0.10 or 0.33, relative molar content of Au precursor) and the application for direct glucose oxidation. First, the composite nanofibers consisting of Ir/IrO2 fibrous main frames decorated with Au nanoparticles (denoted as Pre_AuxIr1−xOy) were synthesized via electrospinning and...
