Properties

Nano dendrites Pt/Ir

0.5 mol∙dm−3 H2SO4 sat. with O2

The reasons for the increase in ORR activity compared to Black Pt/Ir were considered: the nanodendric nature of the particles, which led to an increase in the electrochemical surface; and interactions of iridium core with platinum coating.

Nano dendrites Pt/Au

0.1 mol∙dm−3 HClO4 sat. with O2

Better ORR activity was observed, which probably results from a large electrochemical surface created in nano dendric buildings.

Nano dendrites Pt/IrRe

0.1 mol∙dm−3 HClO4 sat. with O2

With the change in the composition of IrRe, the binding energy of the -OH catalyst changes, the ORR activity also changes.

Pt monolayers (ML) on the Au nanoparticles (NP)

0.1 mol∙dm−3 HClO4 sat. with O2

No drastic changes in particle size in PtC and ML Pt/NP Au catalysts

Nanospheres Pt/Ir-Ni

0.1 mol∙dm−3 HClO4 sat. with O2

Pt coatings with pure Ir core caused too strong binding of -OH molecules. Ni particles added to the core weaken the catalyst binding -OH to Pt/Ir, and strengthen binding to Pt. Higher activity of Pt/IrNi catalysts compared to Pt/C gives higher ORR activity.

Nanowire Pt/Pd

0.1 mol∙dm−3 HClO4 sat. with O2

High activity of the Pt/Pd catalyst results from the relationship between metals, this does not refer to the degree of development of the active surface
