Abstract
The optimized composition and precisely tailored structure configuration play critical roles in enhancing the catalytic reaction kinetics. Here we report a distinctive core@satellite strategy for designing the advanced platinum-nickel@platinum-nickel-copper-cobalt-indium high-entropy alloy nanowires (Pt<sub>3</sub>Ni@HEA NWs) as efficient bifunctional catalysts in the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Impressively, the Pt<sub>3</sub>Ni@HEA NWs/C shows 19.4/15.3 times higher mass/specific activity than that of commercial Pt/C for the oxygen reduction reaction. More importantly, synchronously as the cathodic and anodic catalysts, it can achieve a high membrane electrode assembly power density of 1653.5 mW cm<sup>-2</sup> and long-term stability (only 3.9% voltage loss) for 280 h, largely outperforming those of commercial Pt/C. The weakened Pt-CO binding strength, quick removal of CO with linear adsorption, and favorable CO adsorption form contribute to the high performance of Pt<sub>3</sub>Ni@HEA NWs/C. This core@satellite strategy provides a new paradigm to develop the comprehensively efficient Pt-based functional catalysts for fuel cells and beyond.
