Abstract

Strengthening the interfacial interaction in heterogeneous catalysts can lead to a dramatic improvement in their performance and allow the use of smaller amounts of active noble metal, thus decreasing the cost without compromising their activity. In this work, a facile phase-segregation method is demonstrated for synthesizing platinum-tin oxide hybrids supported on carbon black (PtSnO 2 /C) in situ by air annealing PtSn alloy nanoparticles on carbon black. Compared with a control sample formed by preloading SnO 2 on carbon support followed by deposition of Pt nanoparticles, the phase-segregation-derived PtSnO 2 /C exhibits a more strongly coupled PtSnO 2 interface with lattice overlap of Pt (111) and SnO 2 (200), along with enhanced electron transfer from SnO 2 to Pt. Furthermore, the PtSnO 2 active sites show a strong ability to degrade reactive oxygen species. As a result, the PtSnO 2 /C nanohybrids exhibit both excellent activity and stability as a catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction, with an overall performance which is superior to both the control sample and commercial Pt/C catalyst. This phase-segregation method can be expected to be applicable in the preparation of other strongly coupled nanohybrids and offers a new route to high-performance heterogeneous catalysts for low-cost energy conversion devices.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
