Abstract

Tailoring the near-surface composition of Pt-based alloy can optimize the surface chemical properties of a nanocatalyst and further improve the sluggish H2 electrooxidation performance in an alkaline electrolyte. However, the construction of alloy nanomaterials with a precise near-surface composition and smaller particle size still needs to overcome huge obstacles. Herein, ultra-small PtRu3 binary nanoparticles ( Pt-increased > Pt/PC. From the perspective of engineering a near-surface structure, this study may open up a new route for the development of high-efficiency electrocatalysts with a strong electronic effect and oxophilic effect.
