In situ high energy resolution fluorescence detection X-ray absorption spectroscopy (HERFD-XAS) was used to systematically evaluate interactions of H2O and O-2 adsorbed on Pt and Pt3Co nanoparticle catalysts in different particle sizes. The systematic increase in oxidation due to adsorption of different species (H2O adsorption < O-2 adsorption < O-2 + H2O coadsorption) suggests that cooperative behavior between O-2 and H2O adsorptions is responsible for the overpotential induced by hydrated species in fuel cells. From the alloying and particle size effects, it is found that both strength of O-2/H2O adsorption and their cooperative effect upon coadsorption are responsible for the specific activity of Pt catalysts.
