Abstract
This article reveals the effect of plasma pre-treatment on antimony tin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles. The effect is to allow Pt@Pd to be deposited homogeneously on the ATO surface with high dispersion and narrow particle size distribution. The Pt@Pd core-shell catalyst was prepared using the polyol method and shows a dramatic improvement towards ORR activity and durability. A catalyst spread far and wide: The effect of plasma pre-treatment on antimony tin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles is to allow homogeneous dispersion of Pt@Pd over the support with a narrow particle size distribution. These factors combine for a dramatic improvement towards ORR activity and durability.
