摘要

The sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics at cathode and expensive Pt electrocatalysts are two main issues that retard fuel cell technology commercialization. 1-3 To overcome these problems, alloying Pt with transition metals, core-shell structures, and non-Pt catalysts are applied to improve the catalytic activity and reduce the catalyst cost. 4-8 It was found that Pt 3 Ni, Pt 3 Co, and Pt 3 Fe have better activity than pure Pt. 9-11 However, stability of these alloys needs to be improved. Pt 3 Zr, Pt 3 Y, Pt 3 Sc show greater stability and high catalytic activity, 9,10,12 but these materials need further experimental and theoretical investigations. We used DFT calculations to study the origins of the better ORR performance and greater stability of Pt-Zr catalysts. To accurately evaluate the activity of Pt-Zr catalysts, we examined binding energies of ORR intermediates and reaction energy barriers for ORR steps both in gas phase and solution. Based on the results obtained, ORR mechanisms on Pt-Zr catalysts will be considered and compared to pure Pt and Pt alloys. Some related experimental results will be discussed as well.
