PtCo3/C catalysts for oxygen reduction were prepared and heat-treated between 350 and 1000 °C under reductive conditions. The catalysts were activated by cyclic voltammetry, which resulted in the partial oxidative leaching of cobalt. Subsequent rotating disk electrode measurements showed a maximum mass activity for samples tempered at 800 °C, which yielded a 2.4 times higher activity than commercial PtCox/C. TEM images revealed that the particle size of the PtCo3/C catalysts remains almost constant until a temperature of 600 °C is reached; a further temperature increase leads to a noticeable particle growth and a broadening of the particle size distribution. XRD measurements showed that heat treatment leads to the formation of fcc-Pt, Pt3Co, fct-PtCo, fcc-PtCo, and cobalt. The fct- and fcc-PtCo phases are present in samples with the highest catalytic activities.
