Abstract

Nanoscale Pt-Ni bimetallic octahedra with controlled sizes have been actively explored in recent years owning to their outstanding activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here we report the synthesis of uniform 9 nm Pt-Ni octahedra with the use of oleylamine and oleic acid as surfactants and W(CO)6 as a source of CO that can promote the formation of {111} facets in the presence of Ni. Through the introduction of benzyl ether as a solvent, the coverage of both surfactants on the surface of resultant Pt-Ni octahedra was significantly reduced while the octahedral shape was still attained. By further removing the surfactants through acetic acid treatment, we observed a specific activity 51-fold higher than that of the state-of-the-art Pt/C catalyst for the ORR at 0.93 V, together with a record high mass activity of 3.3 A mgPt(-1) at 0.9 V (the highest mass activity reported in the literature was 1.45 A mgPt(-1)). Our analysis suggests that this great enhancement of ORR activity could be attributed to the presence of a clean, well-preserved (111) surface for the Pt-Ni octahedra.

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.
