Abstract The presence of gold on the surface of platinum nanoparticles can have profound effects on the activity in the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this work, the ORR activity is studied at different surface coverage of gold on two types of core-shell platinum-gold catalysts. Surface-limited redox reaction and redox transmetalation methods are used to synthesize core-shell catalysts with varying degrees of gold coverage on their surface. Experimental results indicate that the presence of gold on the surface intrinsically decreases the ORR activity. Furthermore, the effect of the core on the activity for ORR has been studied.
