Tuning electrocatalytic activity of Pt monolayer shell by bimetallic Ir-M (M=Fe, Co, Ni or Cu) cores for the oxygen reduction reaction
文摘
Core-shell structured IrM nanoparticles are better substrates than alloyed counterparts for Pt monolayer electrocatalyst. Geometric, electronic, and segregation effects together are crucial to understand the increase in ORR activity. DFT calculations demonstrate a volcano type behavior with PtMLIrNi/C at the top of the curve.
