We demonstrated that platinum (Pt) oxygen-reduction fuel-cell electrocatalysts can be stabilized against dissolution under potential cycling regimes (a continuing problem in vehicle applications) by modifying Pt nanoparticles with gold (Au) clusters. This behavior was observed the oxidizing conditions of O 2 reduction reaction and between 0.6 1.1 volts over 30,000 cycles. There were insignificant changes activity surface area Au-modified course cycling, contrast to sizable losses pure...
Peak performance: Electrochemical experiments show that the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on platinum monolayers supported various transition metals exhibits a volcano-type behavior (see graph). Calculations reveal bond-breaking occurs more easily as bond-making becomes harder, and why Pd-supported Pt monolayer (PtML/Pd(111)) has higher ORR activity than pure Pt(111).
The kinetics of oxygen reduction was studied in acid solutions on Pt monolayers deposited a Pd(111) surface and carbon-supported Pd nanoparticles using the rotating disk-ring electrode technique. These electrocatalysts were prepared by new method for depositing involving galvanic displacement an underpotentially Cu monolayer substrate characterized scanning tunneling transmission electron microscopies.

We have synthesized a new class of electrocatalysts for the O2 reduction reaction, consisting mixed monolayer Pt and another late transition metal (Ir, Ru, Rh, Re, or Os) deposited on Pd(111) single crystal carbon-supported Pd nanoparticles. Several these exhibited very high activity increased stability against oxidation, as well 20-fold increase in mass-specific activity, compared with state-of-the-art all-Pt electrocatalysts. Their superior reflect low OH coverage Pt, caused by lateral...
This communication describes the preparation of carbon-supported truncated-octahedral Pt3Ni nanoparticle catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction. Besides composition, size, and shape controls, this work develops a new butylamine-based surface treatment approach removing long-alkane-chain capping agents used in solution-phase synthesis. These can have an area-specific activity as high 850 μA/cm2Pt at 0.9 V, which is ∼4 times better than commercial Pt/C catalyst (∼0.2 mA/cm2Pt V). The mass...
