The experimental results suggest that under the pressure of 1 mbar, the adsorption of H2O hinders the successive O2 adsorption on Pt surface, while under the pressure of 1 bar, the adsorption of H2O enhances the adsorption of O2 on Pt surface. This water effect is found to be more significant on Pt surface than on Pt-Co surface. These results would be helpful to understand how the water affects the fuel cell performance and why Pt-Co nanoparticles show higher oxygen reduce reaction (ORR) activity than Pt nanoparticles.}, pages = {131--136}, title = {Electronic Structure of Pt and Pt-Co Nanoparticles with O2 and O2/H2O Adsorption Revealed by In Situ XAFS and Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy}, volume = {72}, year = {2016} }
