Abstract

Pt-based intermetallics exhibit excellent activity in electrocatalysis. However, their controlled syntheses remain difficult. Herein, carbon-supported PtM (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Zn and Mn) intermetallics with small size (3 nm) were prepared at the gramscale and applied as a highly effective electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction.
