The present invention refers to a method for preparing an electrode; to the electrode obtainable by said method; to a cell comprising the electrode, and to the use of the electrode.

The present invention is concerned with the epitaxial growth of unconventional 2H Cu on hexagonal close-packed (hcp) IrNi template, leading to forming of IrNiCu@Cu nanostructures as electrocatalyst. IrNiCu@Cu-20 shows superior catalytic performance, with N...
