Popis: The CO poisoning effect was overcome using a novel synthesis method. This method consists of using sodium borohydride reducing agent assisted by magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses in the time-domain NMR spectrometer. This synthesis was useful to disperse the Pt nanoparticles over the carbon support and to compress the lattice strain of the Pt crystalline structure. Besides that, Pt/C MFP90° showed a multi-CO oxidation component in cyclic voltammetry, and this can avoid the poisoning effect by creating a large availability of CO species to be adsorbed, desorbed, and re-adsorbed. Pt/C MFP90° has also shown the best performance in the PEMFC regarding H2 and CO + H2 experiments.
