Abstract

•Synthesis process of Fe2MoC through ion-exchange method is specified.•Fe2MoC promoted Pt electrocatalyst shows commercial value for ORR.•Inherent stability and synergistic effect of Fe2MoC on Pt lead to high performance.

Stable bimetallic carbide (Fe2MoC) with graphitized carbon (GC) as matrix has been synthesized through an ion-exchange method. The Pt nanoparticles are loaded on the GC–Fe2MoC composite to form Pt/GC–Fe2MoC electrocatalyst which shows much higher activity and stability than those of commercial Pt/C for oxygen reduction reaction in acidic media. The excellent performances of Pt/GC–Fe2MoC are mainly due to the inherent stability of GC–Fe2MoC and the promotion effect between Fe2MoC and Pt.
