Abstract:Co@Pt/C core-shell catalysts have been synthesized by a two-step chemical reduction method, followed by heat treatment in a H2 and N2 mixture. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques were used to characterize the catalyst microstructure and morphology. The results indicate that the core-shell structure of Co rich in core and Pt rich in shell is formed and the nano-particles are highly dispersed on the surface of the carbon support.
