Abstract

The development of ordered Pt-based intermetallic compounds is an effective way to optimize the electronic characteristics of Pt and its disordered alloys, inhibit the loss of transition metal elements, and prepare fuel cell catalysts with high activity and long-term durability for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This paper reviews the structure–activity characteristics, research advances, problems, and improvements in Pt-based intermetallic compound fuel cell catalysts for the ORR. First, the structural characteristics and performance advantages of Pt-based intermetallic compounds are analyzed and explained. Second, starting with 3d transition metals such as Fe, Co, and Ni, whose research achievements are common, the preparation process and properties of Pt-based intermetallic compound catalysts for the ORR are introduced in detail according to element types. Third, in view of preparation problems, improvements in the preparation processes of Pt-based intermetallic compounds are also summarized in regard to four aspects: coating to control the crystal size, doping to promote ordering transformation, constructing a “Pt skin” to improve performance, and anchoring and confinement to enhance the interaction between the crystal and support. Finally, by analyzing the research status of Pt-based intermetallic compound catalysts for the ORR, prospective research directions are suggested.
