Tailoring the Selectivity and Stability of Chemically Modified Platinum Nanocatalysts To Design Highly Durable Anodes for PEM Fuel Cells

Big and small: Chemically modifying platinum with calix[4]arene yields a highly stable anode catalyst that effectively suppresses the oxidation reduction reaction without altering the maximum activity for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (see picture, Pt blue, C gray, O red, S yellow). This behavior extends from long-range-ordered stepped single-crystal surfaces to nanocatalysts. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
