abstract = {Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have the major advantage
of the high energy density of the methanol (4.33 kWh/l) they
use as a liquid fuel, although their costs remain too high
due to the high quantity of Pt needed as a catalyst for
oxygen reduction in the presence of methanol. Pt–Ni
core–shell catalysts are promising candidates for improved
oxygen reduction kinetics as shown in hydrogen fuel cells.
The novelty in this work is due to the fact that we studied
these catalysts in DMFC cathodes where oxygen must be
reduced and membrane-permeating methanol oxidized at the
same time. In spite of many attempts to overcome these
problems, high amounts of Pt are still required for DMFC
cathodes. During measurements over more than 3000 operating
hours, the performance of the core–shell catalysts
increased so substantially that a similar performance to
that obtained with five times the amount of commercial
platinum catalyst was achieved. While catalyst degradation
has been thoroughly studied before, we showed here that
these catalysts exhibit a self-protection mechanism in the
DMFC cathode environment and prolonged operation is actually
beneficial for performance and further stability due to the
formation of a distinct Pt-rich shell on a PtNi core. The
catalyst was analyzed by transition electron microscopy to
show how the catalyst structure had changed during
activation of the core–shell catalyst.},
