Co@Pt/C core-shell catalysts have been synthesized by a two-step chemical reduction method, followed by heat treatment in a H₂ and N₂ mixture. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques were used to characterize the catalyst microstructure and morphology. The results indicate that the core-shell structure of Co rich in core and Pt rich in shell is formed and the nano-particles are highly dispersed on the surface of the carbon support. Heat treatment affects the structure and morphology of the catalysts. The electrocatalytic performance, kinetic characteristics of O₂ reduction reaction (ORR), and durability of the catalysts were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) techniques. It was found that the formation of the core-shell structure is favorable for improving the performance and utilization of Pt. The Co@Pt/C catalyst mechanism proceeds by an approximately four-electron pathway in acid solution, through which molecular oxygen is directly reduced to water. Compared with alloy catalysts, the formation of the core-shell structure obviously improves the catalyst durability.
