H 2 ‐induced thermal treatment significantly influences the development of a high performance low‐platinum core‐shell PtNi/C alloyed oxygen reduction catalyst

Abstract: Summary In the purpose of maximizing the utilization of noble metal Pt in oxygen reduction catalysts, we illustrate a synthesis method of preparing the low‐platinum PtNi/C alloyed oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst, which is developed through the H2‐induced treatment to a glucose reduced PtNi/C alloy. After post‐treatment with H2/N2 mixture gases, this catalyst displays excellent ORR catalytic activity and durability for the synergetic influences of electronic and geometry effects on catalysts during the… Show more

“…The difference of lattice shrinkage is caused by the alloy formed by Pt and Ni. It will affect the overlapping degree of Pt electron states, causing a downshift of the d-band center that weakens the adsorption strength of the oxygenated intermediate on the surface of the catalyst, which is beneficial for re-exposure of active sites. …”

“…In addition to the PtNi peak in the XRD pattern of PtNi/C_700 C, a separate peak corresponding to Pt was observed. This was probably due to the segregation ascribed to the difference in the affinity to the supplied gas between the Pt and Ni, or the difference in their bonding strengths, which depended on the type of metal atom during annealing in a hydrogen atmosphere at 700 C. 22 This segregation should be avoided because it may inhibit uniform alloy formation and may also lead to the formation of isolated Pt nanoparticles. Interestingly, no isolated XRD peaks were observed for PtNi@C/C.…”

“…Interestingly, the Pt content on the surface of the nanoparticles slightly increased, which was probably due to the segregation of Pt during heat treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere. 22 Figure 2F,G are a single high-resolution TEM (HR-TEM) image of a PtNi nanoparticle and its pattern obtained using an inverse FFT process, respectively. The (111) interplanar distance, d-spacing, of the synthesized PtNi nanoparticles was approximately 2.18 Å, which was close to that of the Pt 1 Ni 1 alloy (2.17 Å), confirming the formation of a PtNi alloy with a uniform composition.…”

“…[1][2][3] However, the kinetic limitation of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the cathode, poor long-term stability, high cost and scarcity of platinum based catalysts impede the large-scale industrialization of fuel cells. [4][5][6] In the recent years, investigations on the low cost, highly active and stable non-noble catalysts [7][8][9][10] for fuel cells were comprehensively carried out. According to the earlier reports, 9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] the development of M-N-C (M = transition metals) catalysts was shown to be very promising toward ORR.…”
