Defect-rich carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles via Joule heating for enhanced oxygen reduction
Abstract
Joule heating, this defective carbon yields Pt particles with an ultrafine size of 2.5 nm within seconds. Due to the favorable defect-induced electron transfer, this Pt catalyst shows significantly enhanced activity and stability towards alkaline oxygen reduction.
