Ultralow‐Platinum‐Loading High‐Performance Nanoporous Electrocatalysts with Nanoengineered Surface Structures

Abstract

A robust new electrocatalyst with ultralow Pt loading, great poisoning resistance, and high stability (see figure) shows an over 100-fold increase in the efficiency of formic acid electro-oxidation, compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst. In situ IR spectroscopy proves that the greatly enhanced performance is mainly achieved by changing reaction pathways using Au clusters, which simultaneously improve the stability.
