Abstract
Fully ordered face-centered tetragonal (fct) FePt nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by thermal annealing of the MgO-coated dumbbell-like FePt-Fe3O4 NPs followed by acid washing to remove MgO. These fct-FePt NPs show strong ferromagnetism with room temperature coercivity reaching 33 kOe. They serve as a robust electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.1 M HClO4 and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 0.5 M H2SO4 with much enhanced activity (the most active fct-structured alloy NP catalyst ever reported) and stability (no obvious Fe loss and NP degradation after 20 000 cycles between 0.6 and 1.0 V (vs RHE)). Our work demonstrates a reliable approach to FePt NPs with much improved fct-ordering and catalytic efficiency for ORR and HER.Entities:
