Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A platinum-carbon electrocatalyst material comprising a carbon support having a minimum BET surface area of 1000 m2/g, a nitrogen content of at least 2.5 weight percent, which is present in the form of pyridine, pyridone or pyrrole, a phosphorous content of at least 3 weight percent, which is present in the form of phosphate and phosphonate, and a plurality of platinum nanoparticles dispersed on the carbon support having a maximum average particle diameter of 1.5 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A platinum-carbon electrocatalyst material comprising: (a) a carbon support having a minimum BET surface area of 1000 m 2 /g; (b) a nitrogen content of at least 2.5 weight percent, which is present in the form of pyridine, pyridone or pyrrole; (c) a phosphorous content of at least 3 weight percent, which is present in the form of phosphate and phosphonate; and (d) a plurality of platinum nanoparticles dispersed on the carbon support having a maximum average particle diameter of 1.5 nm. 2. The platinum-carbon electrocatalyst material of claim 1 further comprising: a DFT micropore volume from 0.3 to 0.45. 3. The platinum-carbon electrocatalyst material of claim 1 further comprising: pore widths from 1 to 100 nm. 4. The platinum-carbon electrocatalyst material of claim 3 further comprising: pore widths from 2 to 50 nm. 5. The platinum-carbon electrocatalyst material of claim 3 further comprising: pore widths in a range from 1 to 5 nm. 6. The platinum-carbon electrocatalyst material of claim 1 further comprising: a minimum BET surface area of 1400 m 2 /g. 7. A method of making a platinum-carbon electrocatalyst material comprising a carbon support having a minimum BET surface area of 1000 m 2 /g; a nitrogen content of at least 2.5 weight percent, which is present in the form of pyridine, pyridone or pyrrole; a phosphorous content of at least 3 weight percent, which is present in the form of phosphate and phosphonate; and a plurality of platinum nanoparticles dispersed on the carbon support having a maximum average particle diameter of 1.5 nm, wherein the method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a carbon support material having a minimum BET surface area of 1000 m 2 /g, a nitrogen content of at least 2.5 weight percent, which is present in the form of pyridine, pyridone or pyrrole; a phosphorous content of at least 3 weight percent, which is present in the form of phosphate and phosphonate; and (b) depositing platinum nanoparticles with a maximum average diameter of 1.5 nm onto the carbon support material using an in situ vapor-phase dissociative process.
