were synthesized at ambient conditions in an aqueous solution by co-reducing H2PtCl6 and
Bi (NO3) 3 with NaBH4 in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping agent.
The produced PtBi2 nanoparticle catalyst, which has some distinguishable properties from
Pt or Pt-based disordered catalysts, displays a strong electrocatalytic activity toward oxygen
reduction with a methanol-tolerant property. The methods, such as powder X-ray diffraction …
