Abstract
Synthesizing two-dimensional (2D) platinum-based nanomaterials with controlled phases and compositions remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report PtTe<sub>2</sub>Bi@Pt<sub><i>x</i></sub>Bi hexagonal core@shell nanosheets (PtTe<sub>2</sub>Bi@Pt<sub><i>x</i></sub>Bi HCSNSs, <i>x</i> = 2, 3, 4) for an efficient formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR). Precise structure analysis unveils the atomic layer arrangements of trigonal and cubic phases for core and shell parts in PtTe<sub>2</sub>Bi@Pt<sub>3</sub>Bi HCSNSs, finding the enrichments of Te, Bi, and Pt in the core, second outer layer, and outermost layer, respectively. They exhibit the specific and mass activities of 9.9 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> and 6.1 A mg<sub>Pt</sub><sup>-1</sup>, 52.1 and 46.9 times higher than those of commercial Pt/C. The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) power density of 169.6 mW cm<sup>-2</sup> and much enhanced stability can be realized. The dehydrogenation pathway is more favorable on their surface, and the high energy barrier to produce CO and relatively weak binding with CO jointly contribute to their superior CO tolerance.
