We systematically explore the shape-dependent catalytic activities of Au nanocrystals toward glucose oxidation in alkaline electrolytes, which is strongly dependent on the shape of the Au nanocrystals. The {100}-bounded cubic Au nanocrystals are significantly more active than the {110}-bounded rhombic dodecahedral and {111}-bounded octahedral Au nanocrystals.We systematically explore the shape-dependent catalytic activities of Au nanocrystals toward glucose oxidation in alkaline electrolytes, which is strongly dependent on the shape of the Au nanocrystals.
