Dealloyed Pt-based Core-Shell Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysts
Dealloyed Pt core-shell nanoparticles constitute the most active and stable bimetallic oxygen reduction catalysts for low-temperature fuel cells. Here, we review recent advances on their preparation, structural characterization, and electrocatalytic performance. Starting with bimetallic metal overlayer model systems, for which we illustrate fundamental principles of the ORR activity enhancement...
متن کاملCore-shell Au-Pd nanoparticles as cathode catalysts for microbial fuel cell applications
Bimetallic nanoparticles with core-shell structures usually display enhanced catalytic properties due to the lattice strain created between the core and shell regions. In this study, we demonstrate the application of bimetallic Au-Pd nanoparticles with an Au core and a thin Pd shell as cathode catalysts in microbial fuel cells, which represent a promising technology for wastewater treatment, wh...
متن کاملImproved Oxygen Reduction Activity and Durability of Dealloyed PtCo<sub><italic>x</italic></sub> Catalysts for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Strain, Ligand, and Particle Size Effects
The development of active and durable catalysts with reduced platinum content is essential for fuel cell commercialization. Herein we report that the dealloyed PtCo/HSC and PtCo3/HSC nanoparticle (NP) catalysts exhibit the same levels of enhancement in oxygen reduction activity (∼4-fold) and durability over pure Pt/C NPs. Surprisingly, ex situ high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission...
متن کاملNi@Pt core-shell nanoparticles as an improved electrocatalyst for ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline media
Core-shell nanostructures are emerging as more important materials than alloy nanostructures and have much more interesting potential applications in various fields. In this work, we demonstrated the fast and facile synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles consisting of Pt thin layer as the shell and Ni nanoparticles as the cores. The described method herein is suitable for large-scale and low-cos...
متن کاملEthanol electrooxidation on the Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles modified carbon-ceramic electrode in acidic and alkaline media
In this study, the electrocatalytic activity of the Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles toward the ethanol oxidation reaction has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry in acidic and alkaline media in details. The physicochemical data obtained in alkaline solution are compared to those in acidic solution. The obtained results demonstrate that while in the both media Co@Pt core...
