Structure-controlled Pt-based catalysts have been known to exhibit improved electrocatalytic activities due to particularly modulated surface structures favorable for hydrogen oxidation or oxygen reduction reactions. We prepare octahedral Pt-Pd alloy nanoparticles such as Pt3Pd1, Pt1Pd1, Pt1Pd3 by reducing metal ions with glycerol as a reducing agent in an aqueous solution. The octahedral Pt-Pd nanoparticles are well-defined alloy nanostructures with dominant {111} facets. Among them, the octahedral Pt3Pd1 shows excellent electrochemical properties i.e., much enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability for oxygen reduction reactions in comparison with conventional Pt-based catalysts.

The TiO2 nanostructure support consists of backbones and branches of a rutile phase forming a 3-dimensional structure with high specific surface area. The Pt catalysts on the TiO2 nanostructure supports exhibit much improved electrocatalytic activity and stability toward methanol electrooxidation in comparison with conventional Pt/C.

We report nanostructure electrodes with as a core and carbon as a shell (@C) for oxygen reduction in alkaline solution. The structure of core-shell electrodes is characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction method, and X-ray photoelectron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of the @C electrodes are characterized using a potentiostat and compared with those of carbon supported Pt catalyst. In particular, the core-shell electrode with dominant pyridinic-N component exhibits an imporved electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline solution.
