Popis: Electrocatalytic activity in reactions of oxygen reduction and corrosion stability (chemical in the sulfuric acid solution saturated by air) and electrochemical stability (under catalyst potential cycling in different ranges) were studied on the commercial monoplatinum catalyst and synthesized PtCoCr trimetallic system. The trimetallic system characterized by alloy formation exceeds the monoplatinum catalyst in all three parameters (specific surface area of the platinum component, electrocatalytic activity, and stability). The dissolution of the trimetallic system components changes the composition of the system and leads to the formation of a new surface platinum-enriched structure of nanoparticles with different properties caused by the strong ligand effect of the subsurface alloy layer.
