Fig. 2

a The polarization curves of 1% PtW6O24/C and 20% Pt/C in N2-saturated 0.5 M H2SO4. b Tafel slope of 1% PtW6O24/C and 20% Pt/C. c Mass activity of PtW6O24/C and 20% Pt/C at 77 mV (left), the specific activity of 1% PtW6O24/C and 20% Pt/C at 50 mV (right). d The relationship between the current density, the overpotential, and the Pt content. The blue area indicates that the current density of PtW6O24/C and 20% Pt/C is the same. The yellow area indicates that the current density of PtW6O24/C is greater than Pt/C, and the gray area indicates that the current density of PtW6O24/C is lower than Pt/C. e The polarization curves of 1% PtW6O24/C before and after 1000 and 3000 cycles at scan rate of 5 mV s−1. Inset: Time-dependent current density current of 1% PtW6O24/C and 20% Pt/C within 24 h (left). The locally enlarged plot of the time-dependent current density current for the first 0.5 h (right). f In situ XANES spectra of the 1% PtW6O24/C sample at Pt L3-edge. Feature A is attributed to Pt L3-edge and feature B is attributed to W L2-edge.
