Abstract

We studied the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activities for two monolayer (ML)-thick Pt on Pt_xNi_100-x(111) (Pt_2ML/Pt_xNi_100-x(111)) model core-shell catalysts fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Low-energy electron diffraction patterns for all Pt_2ML/Pt_xNi_100-x(111) showed six-fold surface symmetry with longrange ordering, indicating a (111) atomic arrangement of the topmost Pt shell layers. Furthermore, scanning tunneling microscopy images of the Pt_2ML/Pt₅₀Ni₅₀(111) and Pt_2ML/Pt₂₅Ni₇₅(111) surfaces exhibited Moiré-like height modulations, which are likely induced by large lattice mismatches between the topmost Pt(111) shell layers and the Pt-Ni(111) substrates. The ORR activity of Pt_2ML/Pt_xNi_100-x(111) increased with the Ni composition; the enhancement factors are 8-, 18-, and 25-fold vs. Pt(111) for Pt_2ML/Pt₇₅Ni₂₅(111), Pt_2ML/Pt₅₀Ni₅₀(111), and Pt_2ML/Pt₂₅Ni₇₅(111), respectively. The results suggested that the Pt surface strains induced by lattice mismatches between the Pt shells and Pt-Ni substrates increased with the Ni composition, leading to a marked enhancement in ORR activity, particularly for Pt_2ML/Pt₂₅Ni₇₅(111).
