Three types of ternary low-platinum nanocatalysts, alloy PdPtIr/C, core–shell PdPt@PtIr/C and Pd@PtIr/C, have been prepared, and their catalytic behaviors toward methanol oxidation reaction (MOR)/oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are comparatively investigated via cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry analysis in an acidic medium. Through a two-step colloidal technique, the synthesized core–shell structured catalyst PtPd@PtIr/C with alloy core and alloy shell show the best catalytic activity toward MOR and the best poisoning tolerance. The alloy PdPtIr/C catalyst prepared via a one-step colloidal technique exhibits the best performance toward ORR among the three catalysts. All the three catalysts are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and other characterization techniques.

High-dispersed core–shell Ni/Pt/C nano-electrocatalysts were prepared by “modified polyol process” method. Effect of the experimental parameters, such as the pretreatment of XC-72 supports, the method of adding the XC-72 supports, the concentration of the precursors, on the characteristic and the dispersion of the Ni/Pt nanoparticles on carbon were studied in details. The prepared core–shell Ni/Pt/C catalysts were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrochemical methods. The results exhibit that the choice of method of adding the XC-72 support into the solution before formation of the Ni core and appropriately lower concentration of the precursor can obtain high dispersed Ni/Pt/C catalysts, which showed remarkably enhanced activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).

11% Pt/C, 10% Pt + 1%Os/C, 9% Pt + 2%Os/C, 8% Pt + 3%Os/C, 7% Pt + 4%Os/C, 6% Pt + 5%Os/C and 5%Pt + 6% Os/C catalysts have been prepared for methanol oxidation reaction. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry have been used to understand the nature of the species present in these catalysts. 7% Pt + 4% Os/C was the most active catalyst, while 8% Pt + 3% Os/C was the least active one. It is found that the metal particle size and distribution on the carbon support, the surface composition and the oxidation states of the metal particles, the metal-metal and metal support interactions are important parameters to define the activity of the catalyst.
