Reconstructing the Coordination Environment of Platinum Single-Atom Active Sites for Boosting Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Jing Liu et al.

Summary: Efficient platinum single-atom (Pt-1) catalysts are sought after for reducing the costs of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. In this study, a Pt-based electrocatalyst was prepared by hydrothermal ethanol reduction method with high selectivity for the oxygen reduction pathway. Further reconstruction of the coordination environment led to the formation of highly efficient platinum single-atom active sites for oxygen reduction. The obtained catalyst demonstrated excellent performance and stability, outperforming commercial Pt/C by 8.7 times in mass activity at a cell voltage of 0.9 V.
