In this study, carbon supported Pd₃V bimetallic alloy nanoparticles (Pd₃V/C) have been successfully synthesized via a simple impregnation–reduction method, followed by high temperature treatment under a H₂ atmosphere. Electrochemical tests reveal that the half-wave potential of Pd₃V/C-500 shifts positively 40 mV compared with Pd/C. However, the catalytic activity of Pd₃V/C-500 suffers from serious degradation after 1k cycles. By a spontaneous displacement reaction or co-reduction method, a trace amount of Pt was decorated on the surface or inside of the Pd₃V/C nanoparticles. The catalytic activity and stability of the Pd₃V@Pt/C and Pt-Pd₃V/C catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are enhanced significantly, and are comparable to commercial Pt/C. In addition, the Pt mass activity of Pd₃V@Pt/C and Pt-Pd₃V/C improves by factors of 10.9 and 6.5 at 0.80 V relative to Pt/C. Moreover, Pt-decorated Pd₃V/C nanoparticles show almost no obvious morphology change after durability tests, because the Pt-rich shell plays an important role in preventing degradation.
