Abstract

We evaluated the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) properties of ultra-thin Pt shell layers prepared on nitrogen ion beam (N2+ beam), and neutralized nitrogen ion beam (N20 beam) irradiated Pt25Ni75(111) substrates. Although the non-N2 irradiated 0.9-nm-thick Pt layers on Pt25Ni75(111) (Pt0.9nm/Pt25Ni75(111)) showed a kinetic-controlled current density (jk) of 7.7 mA/cm2, the jk values for the Pt0.9nm/N2+-Pt25Ni75(111) and Pt0.9nm/N20-Pt25Ni75(111) pristine surfaces are 6.6 and 6.3 mA/cm2, respectively. In contrast, the N20 beam irradiated sample displayed better durability by retaining ca. 90% of the initial jk value, while the jk values for the N2+ irradiated and non-irradiated samples decreased to ca. 70% and 60%, respectively, of the initial value. The result suggests that N20 beam irradiation on the Pt25Ni75(111) substrate is effective for the electrochemical stabilization of the ultra-thin Pt-shell layers.
