- Abstract
Maximizing catalyst activity and stability while minimizing costs remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we employed the straightforward and easily executed ethylene glycol reduction method to synthesize highly active and stable Pt-Ni alloy catalysts, utilizing SBA15-modified carbon as the supporting material. Subsequent meticulous examinations delved into their physicochemical properties and electrocatalytic activities. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses unveiled a uniform distribution of PtNi particles on the support, showcasing a narrow particle size distribution centered around approximately 1.91 nm with minimal aggregation. Electrochemical assessments demonstrated that Pt3Ni/SBA15-C outperforms Pt/C, exhibiting 56 and 167 mV higher half-wave potentials (E1/2) and onset potential (Eonset), respectively. Furthermore, our meticulously prepared Pt3Ni/SBA15-C, featuring a cage structure, displayed remarkable stability while sustaining superior catalytic durability under an applied potential of +0.7 V. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the cage structure catalyst, comprising porous nanoparticles, in ensuring both catalytic activity and stability. The results collectively contribute to advancing our understanding of catalyst design and performance optimization in electrochemical applications.
