Abstract
Pt-based binary alloy catalysts with different structures have been designed to boost the catalytic activity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), however, the dissolution of the transition metals leads to insufficient catalyst durability. In order to solve this problem, a self-assembly Pt3Co superlattice catalyst is reported in this paper, which exhibits enhancement in both activity and durability towards ORR. Compared with commercial Pt catalyst, the mass activity and specific activity of Pt3Co superlattice are significantly improved. The Pt3Co superlattice dropped only 9.2% and 12.4% in the mass activity and specific activity after 5000 cycles of durability tests. Moreover, the mechanistic studies find that the improvement of the catalyst performance is mainly dominated by reducing the energy of oxygen adsorption to a more suitable energy, optimizing the electronic structure of d-band, and suppressing the leaching of Co. This work provides a strategy to prepare superlattice catalyst with great activity and durability toward ORR.
