? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Pt and Pt-M (M = Ni, Fe, Cu) nanoparticles supported on graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were synthesized by simultaneous supercritical carbon dioxide deposition method. Morphology analysis by TEM revealed the formation of metal nanoparticles of 2–3 nm size uniformly distributed over GNPs, while XPS was used to determine their oxidation states. Four materials were tested as electrocatalysts for ORR and OER in unitized regenerative fuel cells and rechargeable metal-air batteries. PtFe/GNPs exhibited favorable ORR kinetics in terms of the highest diffusion-limited current density, the lowest Tafel slope, and a high number of exchanged electrons (n = 3.66), which might be attributed to its high double-layer capacitance and, thus, high electrochemically active surface area. Furthermore, this material performance was comparable to that of commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst containing double the amount of Pt. The same material showed the best performance toward OER as evidenced by the highest current density, the lowest value of exchange current density, and overpotential to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2, as well as the lowest Tafel slope.
