Abstract
- Here, we investigate the oxygen reduction reaction activity of near-monocrystalline platinum nanoflowers presenting a low microstrain to decorrelate the contribution of (i) distorted lattice and (ii) high coordination active sites found within the platinum nanoflower pores to the specific activity enhancement. The results are discussed within the framework of previous investigations onto various catalytic nanostructures. We evidenced that the microstrain of the platinum nanoflowers stands out of the trends previously established for defective platinum-based nanostructures, where the activity is driven by lattice distortion. This indicates that (i) 'defective' structures with low lattice distortion, but high variation in coordination number, can be synthesized and (ii) that their specific activity improvement is comparable to the surface distortion approach in liquid electrolyte.
