In this work, the ORR catalyst carrier Co/C was prepared through the transition metal cobalt-organic framework (Co-MOF) as the precursor, and the alloy Pt-Co/C catalysts was prepared by impregnation-liquid phase reduction method. The pore structure, phase structure, micro-morphology and electrochemical properties of the samples were characterized and analyzed. The results show that the carrier Co/C has high specific surface area and interconnected hierarchical meso-porous structure. Its unique morphology and rich pore structure make the loaded platinum nanoparticles uniformly distributed, the particle size distribution range is narrow, and the average particle size is about 6.8 nm. Its electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) is close to the value of commercial Pt/C catalyst, which indicates that the active component platinum has high utilization rate in the alloy catalyst, meanwhile it shows the unique pore structure advantage of the carrier.
