Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have prepared the stabilized Pt-skin layer (PtxAL) formed on PtM (M = Fe, Co, Ni) nanoparticles highly dispersed on carbon supports (PtxAL-PtM/C). These catalysts exhibited high ORR activity together with high durability. To clarify the mechanism of such superlative properties, we have examined the fine structure of PtxAL-PtM/C catalysts. The electron diffraction (ED) patterns of n-PtCoN2-HT/C and n-PtCoH2-HT/C catalysts were assigned to L12-type face centered cubic (fcc) structure and L10-type face centered tetragonal (fct) structure, respectively. In contrast, the as-prepared PtxAL-PtCo/C consisted of fct and a small portion (3%) of fcc.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究で提案したPt層被覆復元合金触媒は、その作製法に特色を有する。これまでに提案されてきたコアシェル型の触媒調整法では、全ての微粒子にわたって正確に被覆制御可能な方法は無い。本研究では、コアとなる合金粒子サイズ、組成、分散状態を任意に制御し、Pt前駆体を含む水溶液中で攪拌、還元剤を投入するのみで、全ての粒子表面に均一にPt層を析出させることができる。よって、工業的に量合成が難しいとされてきたコアシェル型の金属粒子触媒の調整が容易となる点では社会的意義は高い。また、本研究成果は、全く新しい合金の相転換現象を立証し、構造的議論として活性と耐久性に結びつけることができ、学術的には新しい発見となる。
