Abstract Developing new sources of energy is one of the most important themes throughout industry. One such new source of energy is fuel cells. In order to make fuel cells more efficient, Pt-based materials are used as a catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). For industrial catalysts, mass activity of Pt loading is an important factor because it directly influences the production cost. We paid attention to the synergistic effect between Pb and Pt which affects the stability and activity. It is known that the surface area to volume ratio is key factor of efficiency since the reaction occurs on the surface of the catalyst. Herein, we synthesized a porous PtPb nanocatalyst which has a high surface area to volume ratio.
