A joint study conducted by scientists of the Southern Federal University and the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences made it possible to combine an original approach to obtaining bimetallic nanoparticles and the use of a modified carbon carrier to create nanostructured materials with improved characteristics.
As part of the study, scientists studied the structural and morphological characteristics and electrochemical behavior of catalysts. The platinum-carbon material itself was obtained by chemical reduction. The materials obtained on the basis of original and N-doped carbon supports are labeled as PtCu/KB and Pt Cu/BN, respectively.
The research was carried out within the framework of the project supported by the Russian Scientific Foundation No. 21-11-HF "New approaches to improving stability and optimization of stress testing methods of electrocatalysts for fuel cells with a polymer membrane" under the leadership of Anastasia Alekseenko.
The research results are presented in the article "Platinum-containing nanoparticles on carbon substrates doped with N as an advanced electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction" in the international open access journal Catalysts.
