abstract = {Octahedral Pt–Ni catalyst nanoparticles (NPs) are
predicted to exhibit high activity for the oxygen reduction
reaction. However, until now this class of catalysts has
been limited by its long-term performance, as a result of
compositional and morphological instabilities of the NPs. In
situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful
technique for understanding morphological and compositional
evolution under controlled conditions. It is of great
importance to study the evolution of the morphology and
elemental distribution in bimetallic NPs and their
interaction with the support in reducing and oxidizing
treatments at the atomic scale for the rational design of
catalysts. Here, we use in situ TEM to follow dynamic
changes in the NP morphology, faceting and elemental
segregation under working conditions in previously
unreported Pt–Ni core–shell octahedral structures. We
follow changes in the Pt–Ni catalyst from a segregated
structure to an alloyed shell configuration and then a more
spherical structure as a function of temperature under
reducing conditions. Exposure to an oxidizing environment
then leads to oxidation of the C support, while the
spherical NPs undergo a cycle of transformations into cubic
NPs followed by the reaction to spherical NPs. The formation
of the cubic NPs results from CO formation during C
oxidation, before it is finally oxidized to CO2. Our
observations may pave the way towards the design of
optimized structure–stability electrocatalysts and
highlight the importance of TEM visualization of degradation
and transformation pathways in bimetallic Pt–Ni NPs under
reducing and oxidizing conditions.},
