Surface segregation of Pt is investigated in nanoporous metals formed by dealloying of Ag-Au-Pt alloys. By exposing freshly-dealloyed nanostructures to surprisingly low temperatures in the presence of laboratory air, the Pt segregates to the surface of the ligaments thanks to its preferential interaction with oxygen; in contrast, in an inert atmosphere (Ar-H-2), Pt mostly remains in the bulk of the ligaments. Moreover, the co-segregation of Pt and 0 hinders the thermal coarsening of the ligaments. The averaged size of the ligaments, the resulting roughness factor (R-f) and the fraction of Pt atoms on the surface of the ligaments were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low energy ion scattering were used to characterize the resulting nanoporous structure, in addition to electrochemical methods such as underpotential deposition of hydrogen and cyclic voltammetry.
