The preparation of a high performance and durability with low-platinum (Pt) loading oxygen reduction catalysts remains a challenge for the practical application of fuel cells. Alloying Pt with a transition metal can greatly improve the activity and durability for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this work, we present a one-pot wet-chemical strategy to controllably synthesize carbon supported sub-5 nm PtNi nanocrystals with a ~3% Pt loading. The as-prepared PtNi/C-200 catalyst with a Pt/Ni atomic ratio of 2:3 shows a high oxygen reduction activity of 0.66 A mgpt−1 and outstanding durability over 10,000 potential cycles in 0.1 M KOH in a half-cell condition. The PtNi/C-200 catalyst exhibits the highest ORR activity, with an onset potential (Eonset) of 0.98 V and a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.84 V. The mass activity and specific activity are 3.89 times and 9.16 times those of 5% commercial Pt/C. More importantly, this strategy can be applied to the gram-scale synthesis of high-efficiency electrocatalysts. As a result, this effective synthesis strategy has a significant meaning in practical applications of full cells. |
