摘要
We demonstrate how shape selectivity and optimized surface composition result in exceptional oxygen reduction activity of octahedral PtNi nanoparticles (NPs). The alloy octahedra were obtained by utilizing a facile, completely surfactant-free solvothermal synthesis. We show that the choice of precursor ligands controls the shape, while the reaction time tunes the surface Pt:Ni composition. The 9.5 nm sized PtNi octahedra reached a 10-fold surface area-specific (similar to 3.14 mA/cm(Pt)(2)) as well as an unprecedented 10-fold Pt mass based (similar to 1.45 A/mg(Pt)) activity gain over the state-of-art Pt electrocatalyst, approaching the theoretically predicted limits.
