Stabilization and compressive strain effect of AuCu core on Pt shell for oxygen reduction reaction

Yang, Jinhua, Chen, Xiaojun, Yang, Xianfeng, Ying, Jackie Y.·2012·Energy & Environmental Science

Abstract

A great challenge in fuel cell development involves improving the durability and electrocatalytic activity of Pt-based electrocatalysts, while reducing the Pt loading. Herein, we report for the first time the synthesis of core–shell AuCu@Pt nanoparticles, which exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity and excellent stability towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The Au component in the AuCu alloy core is crucial toward stabilizing the Pt shell during ORR. The extraordinary electrocatalytic activity of the AuCu@Pt nanoparticles for ORR is attributed to the compressive strain effect exerted by the AuCu alloy core on the Pt shell, which is induced by the slightly smaller lattice parameter of the AuCu core. In contrast, pure Au core with a larger lattice parameter than Pt would induce a tensile strain effect on the Pt shell, decreasing the electrocatalytic activity of Pt for ORR. This study illustrates that tuning the surface strain in Pt-based nanomaterials can be an effective way to manipulate the specific electrocatalytic activity. Moreover, the replacement of precious Pt core with the less expensive AuCu alloy can significantly reduce Pt loading and the associated catalyst cost, while achieving a superior electrocatalytic activity.

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.
