Bimetallic Pt-M (M = transition metals) nanoparticles are promising for the development of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), but their applications are limited by inevitable nanoparticle aggregation due to the Ostwald ripening process during the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here, we report a novel strategy involving the incorporation of P-O functional groups into the pore channels of Ketjen carbon black (KB), which serves as a linkage to anchor PtCo alloy nanoparticles on the carbon support surface (denoted as PtCo/P

XRD cell to investigate the nanoparticle growth and Co dissolution of PtCo nanoparticles during the ORR process. The results indicate that the introduction of P-O functional groups can effectively inhibit the growth of nanoparticles due to the strong interaction between Pt in nanoparticles and O of P-O in carbon support, as supported by DFT calculations. The mass activity of PtCo/P
