摘要：Carbon supported Pt-based intermetallic compounds(IMCs)with high activity and durability are the most competitive cathode catalysts for the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs).The synthesis of Pt-based intermetallics with a good balance between small size and high metal loading remains challenging because of the high-temperature annealing that is generally required to form intermetallic *** developed a sodium thiosulfate-assisted impregnation strategy to synthesize small-sized and highly ordered PtM IMCs catalysts(M=Co,Fe,Ni)with high-Pt-content(up to 44.5 wt%).During the impregnation process,thiosulfate could reduce H_(2)PtCl6 to form uniformly dispersed Pt colloid on carbon supports,which in turn prevents the aggregation of Pt at the low-temperature annealing ***,the strong interaction between Pt and S inhibits particle sintering,ensuring the formation of small-sized and uniform PtM intermetallic catalysts at the high-temperature annealing *** optimized intermetallic PtCo catalyst delivered a high mass activity of 0.72 A mgPt^(–1)and a large power performance of 1.17 W·cm^(–2)at 0.65 V under H_(2)-air conditions,along with 74%mass activity retention after the accelerated stress test.
