In-situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy study of aging of magnetron sputtered Pt-Co nanoalloy thin films during accelerated degradation test
A Pt-Co nanoalloy thin film catalyst was prepared by using simultaneous magnetron sputtering of Pt and Co. The catalyst was characterized during accelerated degradation test using in-situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy complemented with ex-situ techniques such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy. The combined results gave the full step-by-step picture of the catalyst behavior during the aging test. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
