Zusammenfassung:A method for forming an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst (200, 900) may include providing a carbon (210, 910) supported platinum nanoparticle (220, 920) substrate (Pt/C) (110) and applying a tungsten nitride (WN) film (940) onto the surface of the Pt/C substrate (210, 220, 910, 920) using atomic layer deposition (ALD) (120). The Pt/C substrate (210, 220, 910, 920) with the WN film (940) may then be oxidized at a low temperature (130) and annealed at a high temperature in order to reduce WN to metallic tungsten (W) (140). The metallic W forms a blocking layer (230, 930) over coarse Pt nanoparticles (220, 920) and improves the activity and the durability of the Pt/C catalyst (900, 200) when used in fuel cells or related applications. 用于形成氧还原反应(ORR)催化剂(200,900)的方法可包括提供碳(210,910)载的铂纳米颗粒(220,920)衬底(Pt/C)(110)以及使用原子层沉积(ALD)(120)将氮化钨(WN)膜(940)施加至Pt/C衬底(210,220,910,920)的表面上。然后可以将具有WN膜(940)的Pt/C衬底(210,220,910,920)在低温(130)下氧化并在升高温度下退火,以便将WN还原为金属钨(W)(140)。金属W在粗糙的Pt纳米颗粒(220,920)上形成阻挡层(230,930),并提高了Pt/C催化剂(900,200
