The sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and unsatisfactory durability Pt-based catalysts are severely hindering the commercialization proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this work, lattice compressive strain Pt-skins imposed by intermetallic cores is tailored for highly effective ORR through confinement effect activated nitrogen-doped porous carbon (a-NPC). modulated pores a-NPC not only promote intermetallics with ultrasmall size (average <4 nm), but also...
