摘要：The widespread use of low-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells for clean energy source require significant reductions in the amount of expensive electrocatalyst Pt for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Pt based binary alloys are promising materials for more active and stable electrocatalysts. In this paper, we studied Pt–Ce nanoalloy, which was prepared by hydrogen reduction techniques as ORR electrocatalysts. Among all PtCe alloy catalysts, the PtCe/C-800 ℃ shows superior ORR activity, stability and durability compared to commercial Pt/C. The results presented in this paper will provide the future perspectives to research based on Pt-RE (RE = Ce, Dy, Gd, Er, Sm, and La) alloy as an novel electrocatalyst for various electrocatalytic reactions.
