Highly dispersed Pt nanoclusters supported on zeolite-templated carbon for the oxygen reduction reaction.

ABSTRACT: The formation of highly dispersed Pt nanoclusters supported on zeolite-templated carbon (PtNC/ZTC) by a facile electrochemical method as an electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is reported. The uniform micropores of ZTC serve as nanocages to stabilize the PtNCs with a sharp size distribution of 0.8-1.5 nm. The resultant PtNC/ZTC exhibits excellent catalytic activity for the ORR due to the small size of the Pt clusters and high accessibility of the active sites through the abundant micropores in ZTC.
