Pt(Cu) nanoparticles supported on CMK3 and CMK8 ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) have been synthesized by electroless deposition of Cu followed by galvanic exchange with Pt. The structural characterization by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed the formation of Pt(Cu) nanoparticles of 4–5 nm, in which PtCu alloys with contracted fcc Pt lattice and 70–80 at.% Pt was identified. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses indicated that the Pt(Cu) nanoparticles were mainly composed of a PtCu alloy core covered by a Pt-rich shell, in agreement with the steady cyclic voltammograms, which did not show any Cu oxidation peaks. Electroactive surface areas up to about 70 m2 gPt−1 were obtained. The onset potentials for CO oxidation and the oxygen reduction reaction were more negative and positive, respectively, as compared to Pt/C, thus indicating higher activity of these Pt(Cu) catalysts with respect to the latter. Based on the corresponding binding energies, these better activities were attributed to the favorable geometric and ligand effects of Cu on Pt, which were able to reduce the adsorption energy of the intermediates on Pt. Pt(Cu)/CMK3 showed competitive mass and specific activities, as well as better stability than Pt/C.
