We have prepared carbon-supported Pt-M (M = Fe, Co, and Ni) alloy nanoparticles with uniform size and composition as cathode catalysts for polymer electrolyte fuel cells. In order to protect the underlying Pt-M alloy from dealloying and maintain high mass activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), two atomic layers of Ptskin (Pt2AL) were formed on the Pt-M nanopartcicles. By means of various types of analysis, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma mass analysis (ICP-MS), thermogravimetry (TG), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the formation of monodisperse Pt2AL–Pt-M/C was confirmed. The kinetically-controlled ORR activities (mass activity, MAk, and area-specific activity, jk) for the ORR at Nafion®-coated Pt2AL–Pt-M/C catalysts in O2-saturated 0.1M HClO4 solution were evaluated by the use of a multi-channel flow double electrode cell at 65°C. It was found that the initial value ofMAk at Pt2AL–PtNi/C was the highest, i.e., 3.3 times higher than that at a commercial catalyst, carbon-supported Pt (c-Pt/C). In contrast, the Pt2AL–PtCo/C catalyst exhibited superior durability, so that dealloying was almost entirely suppressed, together with a great mitigation of the particle agglomeration after applying 104 cycles of potential steps between 0.6V and 1.0V. © The Electrochemical Society of Japan, All rights reserved.
