Sub‐3 nm Intermetallic Ordered Pt 3 In Clusters for Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Abstract
Abstract Industrial applications of Pt‐based oxygen‐reduction‐reaction (ORR) catalysts are limited by high cost and low stability. Here, facile large‐scale synthesis of sub‐3‐nm ordered Pt 3 In clusters on commercial carbon black as ORR catalyst that alleviates both these shortcomings is reported. As‐prepared Pt 3 In/C exhibits a mass activity of 0.71 mA mg −1 and a specific area activity of 0.91 mA cm −2 at 0.9 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode, which are 4.1 and 2.7 times the corresponding values of commercial Pt/C catalysts. The as‐prepared ordered Pt 3 In/C catalyst is also remarkably stable with negligible activity and structural decay after 20 000 accelerated electrochemical durability cycles, due to its ordered structure. Density‐functional‐theory calculations demonstrate that ordered‐Pt 3 In is more energetically favorable for ORR than the commercial Pt/C catalysts because ∆ G O is closer to the peak of the volcano plot after ordered incorporation of indium atoms.
