Abstract

Galvanic exchange involving dissolution of iron and the simultaneous growth of platinum onto 316 L stainless steel was investigated for specimens manufactured by 3D-printing, and the behavior was compared to conventional stainless steel. Novel phenomena associated with the 3D-printed steel, but not conventional steel, reacting in three distinct phases were observed: first, with low platinum loading, a bright etching pattern linked to the laser-manufacturing process is revealed at
the steel surface; second, a nanostructured pore pattern with platinum nano-deposits forms; and third, a darker platinum film coating of typically 500-nm thickness forms and then peels off the steel surface with further platinum growth underneath. Unlike the conventional steel (and mainly due to residual porosity), 3D-printed steel supports well-adhered platinum films for potential application in electrocatalysis, as demonstrated for alkaline methanol oxidation.
