Platinum-based bimetallic catalysts have broad applications in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and water splitting.In this work,galvanic displacement reaction was employed to prepare Pt^Ni-P/CNT catalysts using electrolessly-plated Ni-P/CNT.These catalysts were extensively characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.Catalytic activities towards methanol oxidation and hydrogen evolution reactions were evaluated and benchmarked with a commercial Pt/C catalyst.Uniform dispersion of Pt on Ni-P particles led to high Pt utilization,and the electrochemical surface area of Pt^Ni-P/CNT with 12.1％ Pt loading was found to be 126 m2 g-1,higher than that of a commercial Pt/C (77.9 m2 g-1).The Tafel slopes for the pt^Ni-P/CNT catalysts were also found to be smaller than that of Pt/C indicating faster kinetics for hydrogen evolution reaction.
