Abstract: | Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) is a powerful tool to determine the local structure in Pt nanoparticles (NP) on carbon supports, active catalysts for fuel cells. Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) covered with Pt NP gives samples with flat surfaces that allow application of surface science techniques. However, the low concentration of Pt makes it difficult to obtain good quality EXAFS data. We have performedin situhighly sensitive BCLA-empowered Back Illuminated EXAFS (BCLA + BI-EXAFS) measurements on Pt alloy nanoparticles. We obtained high quality Pt L-3-edge data. We have devised a novel analytical method (model building analysis) to determine the structure of multi-component nanoparticles from just a single absorption edge. The generation of large numbers of structural models and their comparison with EXAFS fits allows us to determine the structures of Pt-containing nanoparticles, catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction. Our results show that PtCo, PtCoN and AuPtCoN form a Pt-shell during electrochemical dealloying and that the ORR activity is directly proportional to the Pt-Pt bond length. |
