Abstract:
We report an ordered Pt3Zn intermetallic with an optimized Pt-O bond, featuring a unique nanocube (NC) morphology for high-efficiency zinc-air devices. Rechargeable zinc-air batteries based on the Pt3Zn NC catalyst exhibit a superior electrochemical performance. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that alloying with Zn atoms modifies the electronic structure of the Pt surface, optimizing Pt binding energy with OHabs/COabs intermediates and thus enhancing electrocatalytic activity.
