Voltammetric dealloying is a typical method to synthesize Pt-shell/less-noble metal (M) alloy core nanoparticles (NPs) toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The pristine nanostructures of the Pt-M alloy NPs should determine the ORR activity of the dealloyed NPs. In this study, we investigated the voltammetric dealloying behavior of the Pt-Co and nitrogen-introduced Pt-Co alloy NPs generated by synchronous arc-plasma deposition of Pt and Co. The results showed that the dealloying behavior is sensitive to cobalt nitride in the pristine NPs, leading to the preferential generation of a Pt-rich shell/Pt-Co alloy core architecture having enhanced ORR activity.
伏安脱合金法是一种合成用于氧还原反应(ORR)的铂壳/贱金属(M)合金核纳米颗粒(NPs)的典型方法。铂 - M合金纳米颗粒的原始纳米结构应决定脱合金纳米颗粒的ORR活性。在本研究中,我们研究了通过同步电弧等离子体沉积铂和钴生成的铂 - 钴以及氮掺杂铂 - 钴合金纳米颗粒的伏安脱合金行为。结果表明,脱合金行为对原始纳米颗粒中的氮化钴敏感,导致优先生成具有增强的ORR活性的富铂壳/铂 - 钴合金核结构。
