Abstract

Platinum alloy nanoparticles show great promise as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cell cathodes. We report here on the use of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as both solvent and reductant in the solvothermal synthesis of Pt alloy nanoparticles (NPs), with a particular focus on Pt-Ni alloys. Well-faceted alloy nanocrystals were generated with this method, including predominantly cubic and cuboctahedral nanocrystals of Pt(3)Ni, and octahedral and truncated octahedral nanocrystals of PtNi. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), were used to characterize crystallite morphology and composition. ORR activities of the alloy nanoparticles were measured with a rotating disk electrode (RDE) technique. While some Pt(3)Ni alloy nanoparticle catalysts showed specific activities greater than 1000 μA/cm(2)(Pt), alloy catalysts prepared with a nominal composition of PtNi displayed activities close to 3000 μA/cm(2)(Pt), or almost 15 times that of a state-of-the-art Pt/carbon catalyst. XRD and EDS confirmed the presence of two NP compositions in this catalyst. HAADF-STEM examination of the PtNi nanoparticle catalyst after RDE testing revealed the development of hollows in a number of the nanoparticles due to nickel dissolution. Continued voltage cycling caused further nickel dissolution and void formation, but significant activity remained even after 20,000 cycles.

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.
