▎ 摘  要

Stability and antipoisoning effects are the main challenges for the application of commercial Pt/C catalysts. Herein, we soaked and adsorbed polydopamine to coat Pt particles on commercial Pt/C and subsequently converted the coatings to few-layer N-doped graphene by calcination to produce Pt/C@NC. The coatings effectively block the direct contact of Pt nanoparticles and electrolyte, thus enhancing the catalyst stability by avoiding Ostwald ripening and suppressing the competitive adsorption of toxicants, contributing to the enhancement of the antipoisoning ability. More importantly, the coatings do not hurt the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of commercial Pt/C, which exhibits a half wave potential of 0.84 V in an acidic electrolyte. The spectroscopic and theoretical results confirmed that the coatings originate from a strong Pt bonding to pyridinic N of N-doped graphene and that the high ORR activity results from the coordinately unsaturated carbon atoms, as the real ORR active sites, to strongly capture electrons from Pt.
