Fabrication of a highly dispersed Pdcore@Ptshell electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(17)62840-7

Abstract

Abstract:

Core-shell nanostructures have been widely investigated to improve the electrocatalytic perfor-mance of platinum. However, organic precursors, surfactants or high temperature are usually nec-essary during the preparation procedure. Unfortunately, these requirements limit the application of these methods on a large scale. Herein, a Pd_core@Pt_shell nanostructure was fabricated through the reduction of K₂PtCl₄ by dissociated hydrogen at room temperature without the assistance of either a surfactant or a high-boiling point solvent. The shell thickness of this nanostructure was successfully controlled by varying the amount of K₂PtCl₄; core-shell nanoparticles with a shell thickness of 0.45, 0.75 and 0.90 nm were obtained, as determined by TEM. The remarkable crystallinity and epitaxial growth of the Pd_core@Pt_shell nanostructure were revealed by HRTEM and EDS. According to ICP and XPS, surface segregation of Pt was established. The impressive ORR performance was attributed to the weak adsorption strength of the OH_ads species, which resulted from the electron transfer impact between the Pd_core and Pt_shell. The facile and clean preparation method can be used to prepare other core-shell nanostructures under a mild atmosphere.

Key words: Pd_core@Pt_shell, Dissociated hydrogen, Oxygen reduction, Electrocatalysis, Core shell
