abstract = {Platinum is the most active anode and cathode catalyst in
next-generation fuel cells using methanol as liquid source
of hydrogen. Its catalytic activity can be significantly
improved by alloying with 3d metals, although a precise
tuning of its surface architecture is still required.
Herein, we report the design of a highly active
low-temperature (below 0 °C) methanol dehydrogenation anode
catalyst with reduced CO poisoning based on ultralow amount
of precisely defined PtxNi1–x (x = 0 to 1) bimetallic
clusters (BCs) deposited on inert flat oxides by cluster
beam deposition. These BCs feature clear
composition-dependent atomic arrangements and electronic
structures stemming from their nucleation mechanism, which
are responsible for a volcano-type activity trend peaking at
the Pt0.7Ni0.3 composition. Our calculations reveal that at
this composition, a cluster skin of Pt atoms with d-band
centers downshifted by subsurface Ni atoms weakens the CO
interaction that in turn triggers a significant increase in
the methanol dehydrogenation activity.},
