Monodisperse Pt3Co nanoparticles have been synthesized with size control via an organic solvothermal approach. The obtained nanoparticles were incorporated into a carbon matrix and applied as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction to investigate the effects of particle size and pretreatment on their catalytic performance. It has been found that the optimal conditions for maximum mass activity were with particles of ∼4.5 nm and a mild annealing temperature of about 500 °C. While the particle size effect can be correlated to the average surface coordination number, Monte Carlo simulations have been introduced to depict the nanoparticle structure and segregation profile, which revealed that the annealing temperature has a direct influence on the particle surface relaxation, segregation and adsorption/catalytic properties. The obtained fundamental understanding of activity enhancement in Pt-bimetallic alloy catalysts could be utilized to guide the development of advanced nanomaterials for catalytic applications.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
