While Pt is an active fuel cell catalyst, it’s low abundance and high cost spurs research into boosting performances from lesser Pt amounts. Here, authors design atomically precise triphenylphosphine-stabilized Pt nanoclusters with high activities and durabilities for electrocatalytic H2 oxidation.
