Vulcan XC-72 carbon-supported Pt−Ni alloy nanoparticle catalysts with different Pt/Ni atomic composition were prepared via the carbonyl complex route and their structure was studied by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy at wide angles (WAXS) and Debye function analysis (DFA). The very good agreement between the WAXS pattern and DFA simulation revealed that all the as-prepared Pt−Ni alloy catalysts have a unique and highly disordered face-centered cubic structure (solid solution) and that the lattice parameter decreases with the increase of the Ni content in the alloys. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicated that the as-prepared Pt−Ni alloy nanoparticles were well dispersed on the surface of the carbon support with a narrow particle size distribution and that their mean particle size slightly decreased with the increase in Ni content. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) confirmed that the catalyst composition was nearly the same as that of the nominal value. Thus, a comparative study was ma...
