有 3d 转变金属的磅的合金 nanocrystals (NC ) ,特别 Ni,是为氧减小反应(ORR ) 的优秀催化剂。在这个工作,第一次,我们表明了水阶段 Pt-M (M = Ni,公司和 Fe ) 的胶体的合成有通过一个灵巧的热水的方法的悦耳的作文和形态学的合金 NC。Pt-Ni 合金 NC 综合了,这个方法更好介绍了 ORR 活动比商业 Pt/C 催化剂。X 光检查精力印射技术的散系列(版本) 表明充实磅的壳在同样综合的 Pt-Ni 合金 NC 上存在。厚分层的充实磅的壳在磅上形成了的大约二个原子 < 潜水艇 class= “ a-plus-plus ” > 50 Ni < 潜水艇 class= “ a-plus-plus ” > 当 Ni 内容增加了, 50 NC 和充实磅的壳的厚度增加了。而且, X 光检查光电子光谱学分析表明 Pt-Ni 合金 NC 上的表面磅原子的氧化水平与一金属的磅 NC 相比减少了,暗示在表面磅原子的 oxophilicity 的减少。有表面磅原子的更低的 oxophilicity 的 Pt-Ni 合金 NC 给更高的 ORR 活动。最活跃的合金样品显示出高 13 倍的特定的活动和高六倍的质量在 0.9 V 对一个可逆的氢电极的活动什么时候与商业 Pt/C 相比。Pt-Ni 合金 NC 也在长期的 ORR 测试比商业 Pt/C 显示出更好的耐久性。
Alloy nanocrystals (NCs) of Pt with 3d transition metals, especially Ni, are excellent catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this work, we, for the first time, demonstrated the water phase colloidal synthesis of Pt-M (M = Ni, Co and Fe) alloy NCs with tunable composition and morphology through a facile hydrothermal method. Pt-Ni alloy NCs synthesized with this method presented better ORR activity than commercial Pt/C catalysts. The X-ray energy dispersive spectra (EDS) mapping technique revealed that Pt-enriched shells existed on the as-synthesized Pt-Ni alloy NCs. About two atom thick layered Pt-enriched shells formed on Pts0Nis0 NCs and the thickness of the Pt-enriched shells increased as the Ni content increased. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that the oxidation level of the surface Pt atoms on the Pt-Ni alloy NCs decreased compared with monometallic Pt NCs, implying a decrease in the oxophilicity of the surface Pt atoms. Pt-Ni alloy NCs with lower oxophilicity of the surface Pt atoms give higher ORR activity. The most active alloy sample showed 13 times higher specific activity and six times higher mass activity at 0.9 V vs. a reversible hydrogen electrode when compared with commercial Pt/C. Pt-Ni alloy NCs also showed better durability than commercial Pt/C in long term ORR tests.
