ABSTRACTProton Exehange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) have become increasingly attractive because of the high energy conversion efficiency, high power density and environmental friendly. As one of the key materials for PEMFCs, the research and development of novel anode catalysts play an important role for the performance and cost of fuel cells. Up to now, platinum-based catalysts are still best commercialized catalysts and commonly used as anode electrocatalyst in the state-of-the-art PEMFCs. However, high cost, poor performance and comparably complex preparation process of those catalysts have hampered their large-scale commercialization. Thus, the development of high active and cost-efficient non-Pt electrocatalysts in a facil strategy is of great importance in the application and commercialization of PEMFCs.Herein, we report a novel solvent evaporation plus hydrogen reduction (SE-HR) method for the synthesis of high-anode-activty carbon supported IrNi nanoparticles (NPs) (IrNi/C). In this method, deionized water is used as the solvent, and ammonia is used as both a complexing agent and pH regulator. The ammonia was added to the suspension of metal precursors and leaded Ni to form Ni(NH3)n2+ complex cations,while Ir was still in complex anions presented in IrCl62-. Then, the Ir and Ni complexesspontaneously attracted each other by electrostatic attraction to get well distributed Ni(NH3)nIrCl6 precipitation in the solvent evaporation process. Finnaly, well dispersed carbon supported IrNi alloy NPs were obtained by in situ reduction and nucleation of Ir, Ni in H2 atmosphere.Moreover, we have explored and discussed the optimum technological conditionand mechanism of IrNi/C preparation process. We put primary intesrest in studying on the influence of pH adjusting reagent, annealing temperature and initial Ir/Ni stoichiometric atomic ratio on the morphology and electrocatalytic performances of IrNi/C. By varying preparation conditions, various IrNi/C samples with the
