Abstract

Surface strain and electronic interactions (i.e., strain and ligand effects) play key roles in enhancing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity of Pt-based alloy catalysts. Herein, we evaluate the ORR activity enhancement factors for Pt(111)-shell layers on Pt 25 Ni 75 (111) single-crystal surfaces prepared by molecular beam epitaxy under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). Scanning tunneling microscopy images of the pristine surfaces collected under UHV revealed periodic surface modulations, known as Moiré patterns, suggesting that the topmost Pt(111)-shell layers are compressively strained by the influence of the underlying Ni atoms. The correlation between the ORR activities and estimated strains for 3-ML- and 4-ML-thick Pt shells (where ML represents monolayer), each having −1.7% and −1.2% strained Pt-shells, correspond well to the strain-based theory predictions. On the other hand, a 2-ML-thick Pt shell, with −2.8% strain, exhibits a remarkable ORR activity enhancement, i.e., 25 times higher than the pristine Pt(111): the enhancement factor anomalously deviates from the value predicted by the strain-based theory. Therefore, the activity enhancement of the 2-ML-thick Pt sample can be ascribed to a ligand effect induced by the Ni atoms just below the topmost Pt(111)-shell layer. The results obtained in this study provide a fundamental insight into the ORR activity enhancement mechanisms of Pt-based electrocatalysts.

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.
