A study of the effect of iron concentration on the electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction reaction ORR on well-alloyed carbonsupported PtFe nanocatalysts with a controlled iron content and the same particle size is presented. To obtain the catalysts for this study, PtFe nanoparticles of different compositions were first obtained in a colloidal state in sodium bis2ethylhexylsulfosuccinate AOT+n-butanol/n-heptane/water microemulsions and subsequently supported in high surface area carbon powder. Transmission electron microscopy evidenced that all PtFe/C nanocatalysts prepared are monodispersed and have nearly the same average particle size. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the lattice parameter of these PtFe/C catalysts varies linearly with iron content up to 50% in atoms, while the compositions of the alloyed phases estimated by using Vegard’s law are almost identical to the nominal values, indicating a high degree of alloying. The electrocatalytic activity for ORR of these catalysts was studied using the rotating disk electrode technique in O2 saturated 0.5 mol L 1 H2SO4 solutions, while methanol tolerance was evaluated from curves taken in acid solutions containing 0.1 mol L1 methanol. The results reported here reflect the dependence of the electrocatalytic activity for the ORR on iron concentration in the absence of particle size effects and metal segregation.
