Nanoporous platinum derived from dealloying shows excellent electrocatalytic activity such as methanol electrooxidation due to their extremely high specific surface area. Elastic deformation is known to strongly impact many chemical reaction processes. So it is of great interest to detect and quantify the coupling of catalysis reaction to strain in nanoporous platinum. Here we fabricated nanoporous platinum thin films by dealloying cosputtered Pt-based alloys. Then we explored the influences of elastic strain on the methanol electrooxidation process (reaction potential, rate and efficiency, etc.) via dynamic electro-chemo-mechanical analysis (DECMA).
