A synergistic effect resulting from the interaction of small (2.4–3.1 nm) naked Pt nanoparticles (NPs) imprinted on N-doped carbon supports is evidenced by structural, electronic and electrochemical characterization. The size and distribution of the sputtered Pt NPs are found to be related to the nature of the support because Pt NPs are preferentially located at Ngraphitic sites. In addition, Rutherford backscattering shows that a deeper penetration of the Pt NPs is obtained in the N-doped carbon support with larger pore diameters. The ligand effect of the N-doped carbon supports is found to occur by electron donation from Npyrrolic and Ngraphitic sites to the Pt NPs and the electron acceptor behavior of the C=Npyridinic sites. The carbon matrix acquires a basic characteristic (electron-richer, metallic behavior) capable of interacting with metallic NPs akin to a bimetallic-like system. The imprinted Pt NPs are active catalysts for oxidation, although displaying poor catalytic activity for reduction reactions. The catalyst N-doped carbon supports play an important role in the overall catalytic process, rather than only acting as a simple active phase carrier.
