Double complex salts (DCSs) with [M(NH3)(5)Cl](2+) (M = Rh, Ir, Co, Cr, Ru) cations and [PtBr4](2-) anions were prepared in high yields. The salts were two-phase mixtures of the anhydrous and monohydro DCSs. Anhydrous analogues containing [PdBr4](2-) anions with M = Cr or Ru were synthesized. All the compounds were characterized using a set of physicochemical methods. The crystal structure of chloropentaamminechromium(III) tetrabromopalladate(II) was solved: space group Pnma, Z = 4, a = 17.068(2) angstrom, b = 8.315(12) angstrom, c = 9.653(14) angstrom. The [M(NH3)(5)Cl][M'X-4] (M = Rh, Ir, Co, Cr, Ru; M' = Pd, Pt; X = Cl, Br) compounds were shown to be isostructural. The [M(NH3)(5)Cl][PtBr4] center dot H2O monohydrates are isostructural to the [M(NH3)(5)Cl][PdCl4] center dot H2O monohydrates (space group P2(1)/c, z = 4). The properties of the compounds were comparatively analyzed. The tendencies of the thermal stability of the complexes were elucidated. The thermolysis products of the double complex salts obtained under a helium or hydrogen atmosphere were studied.

surface areas of these nanoporous Pt-based alloy catalysts are increased by over 68 (Pt–Pd), 69 (Pt–Ru) and 113 (Pt–Ir) fold compared to a polycrystalline Pt electrode. All these synthesized nanoporous electrodes exhibit superb electrocatalytic performance towards electrochemical oxidation of methanol and formic acid.

AbstractThe sluggish oxygen reaction kinetics concomitant with the high overpotentials and parasitic reactions from cathodes and solvents is the major challenge in aprotic lithium‐oxygen (Li–O2) batteries. Herein, PtIr multipods with a low Lewis acidity of the Pt atoms are reported as an advanced cathode for improving overpotentials and stabilities. DFT calculations disclose that electrons have a strong disposition to transfer from Ir to Pt, since Pt has a higher electronegativity than Ir, resulting in a lower Lewis acidity of the Pt atoms than that on the pure Pt surface. The low Lewis acidity of Pt atoms on the PtIr surface entails a high electron density and a down‐shifting of the d‐band center, thereby weakening the binding energy towards intermediates (LiO2), which is the key in achieving low oxygen‐reduction‐reaction (ORR) and oxygen‐evolution‐reaction (OER) overpotentials. The Li–O2 cell based on PtIr electrodes exhibits a very low overall discharge/charge overpotential (0.44 V) and an excellent cycle life (180 cycles), outperforming the bulk of reported noble‐metal‐based cathodes.
Pt–Me (Me = Ir, Ru, Ni) binary alloys as an ammonia oxidation anode
Various Pt-Me (Me = It, Ru or Ni) binary alloys were prepared on a glassy carbon (GC) substrate by thermal decomposition and compared as the electrocatalyst for ammonia oxidation in KOH solutions. On the solid solutions of Pt1-xIrx (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 1.0) and Pt1-xRux (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.6), ammonia oxidation was found to begin at a lower potential (-0.6 V versus Ag/AgCl) than on pure Pt by about 0.1 V. During potentiostatic oxidation the current density j decreased considerably within about 300 s. The arbitrarily selected j(60) (j after 60 s) tended to saturate at a high set potential region probably due to the deactivation by a poison of N-ads. The saturated j(60) at a high oxidation potential was apparently higher on Pt(1-x)It(x) (x less than or equal to 0.8) or Pt1-xRux (x less than or equal to 0.4) than on Pt, which suggested a positive cooperation of Ir and Ru with Pt in the electrocatalysis. On the other hand, Ni added as a solute to Pt contributed to lower j(60) with x in Pt1-xNix (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.7) and did not lower the starting potential of ammonia oxidation at all. The reason why Ir and Ru enhance the activity might be explained by their activity at the dehydrogenatation steps of NH3 at a lower potential, at which ammonia oxidation can never start on the surface of pure Pt.
