XRD and electrochemical investigation of particle size effects in platinum-cobalt cathode electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction

Résumé

Pt-Co/C electrocatalysts with Pt loadings near 30 wt. % prepared by the impregnation method in water - ethylene glycol solutions were investigated by X-ray diffraction and correlated with electrochemical measurements. We show that the composition of the binary solvent controls the average particle size and its distribution. The unit cell parameter of the Pt3Co alloy decreases nonlinearly with decreasing particle size. The ORR activity of the prepared Pt-Co/C catalysts in H2SO4 solution enhances with decreasing particle size and unit cell parameter as well as with narrowing of the particle size distribution. Corrosion treatment of the synthesized Pt-Co/C materials causes an increase of ca. 1 nm in average particles size accompanied by broadening of the particle size distribution and decreasing Co content in the Pt-Co alloy. All of the synthesized Pt-Co/C materials show higher ORR activities than do the commercial Pt/C electrocatalysts.
