Research Abstract |
Platinum(Pt) nanoparticles as catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) in fuel cells were prepared on a cerium dioxide(CeO_2) support in which lattice defects were formed by ion-beam-induced high electronic excitation. According to the electrochemical analyses, the ORR activity was higher for the Pt nanoparticles on the irradiated CeO_2 substrate than for those on the non-irradiated one, implying a certain connection with the formation of Ce^<3+> ions or oxygen vacancies in overlapping tracks.
