abstract = {Octahedral faceted nanoparticles are highly attractive fuel
cell catalysts as a result of their activity for the oxygen
reduction reaction (ORR). However, their surface
compositional and morphological stability currently limits
their long-term performance in real membrane electrode
assemblies. Here, we perform in situ heating of
compositionally segregated PtNi1.5 octahedral nanoparticles
inside a transmission electron microscope, in order to study
their compositional and morphological changes. The starting
PtNi1.5 octahedra have Pt-rich edges and concave Ni-rich
{111} facets. We reveal a morphological evolution sequence,
which involves transformation from concave octahedra to
particles with atomically flat {100} and {111} facets,
ideally representing truncated octahedra or cuboctahedra.
The flat {100} and {111} facets are thought to comprise a
thin Pt layer with a Ni-rich subsurface, which may boost
catalytic activity. However, the transformation to truncated
octahedra/cuboctahedra also decreases the area of the highly
active {111} facets. The morphological and surface
compositional evolution, therefore, results in a compromise
between catalytic activity and morphological stability. Our
findings are important for the design of more stable faceted
PtNi nanoparticles with high activities for the ORR.},
