description

Bi-metallic Pt3Ni/C and Pt3Co/C electrocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a solvent free chemical vapour deposition method with a narrow particle size distribution. The results showed that the electrochemical surface area was increased by adding the additional Ni or Co to a pure Pt catalyst. Pt3Ni/C catalyst exhibited a significant enhancement of oxygen reduction reaction activity. The catalysts were characterized by EDS, XRD, HRTEM and electrochemical activity was determined using cyclic voltammetry.
