Intermetallic compounds MPt (M = Al, Ga, In, Sn) in the oxygen evolution reaction
Pt-based intermetallic compounds M 2 Pt with anti -CaF 2 type of crystal structure and counterpart elements (M) from groups 13 (Al, Ga, In) and 14 (Sn) were studied as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic media. Polar covalent bonding M-Pt with substantial charge transf...

The OER activity of isostructural M

Pt (M = Al, Ga, In, Sn) compounds is governed by the nature of counterpart element (M), its leaching rate and corresponding change of the Pt electronic state. |
