Description: This study aims to enhance the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells ordered polyhedron (OP) Pt 2 FeCo ternary alloy electrocatalytic nanoparticles on a high surface area carbon support were prepared in a highly polarized ionic pool (molten) salt condition. The formation of mainly 8 nm OP nanoparticles with a face-centered tetragonal (fct) crystal structure was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and the presence of superlattice peaks in the X-ray diffraction pattern, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the existence of Pt, Fe, and Co on the surface of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, the electrochemical measurements indicated that the OP Pt 2 FeCo/C nanoparticles expressed 11- and 17-times higher mass and specific activity, respectively, than commercial Pt/C. Finally, the stability test showed that even after 30,000 potential cycles, 89% of the initial activity of the OP Pt 2 FeCo/C ternary alloy electrocatalyst was retained, confirming its highly stable nature.
