abstract = {Advances in fuel cell technology depend strongly on the
development of affordable, active, and stable catalysts. For
example, octahedral Pt–Ni alloy nanoparticles show
exceptional activity for the oxygen reduction reaction in
fuel cell cathodes as a result of the presence of highly
active {1 1 1} facets. Here, we review a selection of
recent transmission electron microscopy studies that address
the correlation between the catalytic performance of
octahedral Pt–Ni-based nanoparticles and their
atomic-scale structure and composition. We begin by
describing strategies for the growth of binary Pt–Ni and
ternary Pt–Ni–TM (TM = transition metal) nanoparticles,
with a focus on understanding how their structure and
compositional anisotropy is related to their catalytic
activity and stability. We then describe the morphological
changes and compositional degradation effects that can occur
in electrochemical environments. Changes in nanoparticle
shape, including the loss of highly active {1 1 1}
facets due to dealloying from Ni-rich facets and Pt surface
diffusion, are discussed as important reasons for catalyst
degradation. Finally, strategies to prevent degradation,
e.g. by surface doping, are addressed. The growth,
segregation, and degradation mechanisms that we describe
highlight the complexity with which octahedral alloy
nanoparticles form and evolve under reaction conditions.},
