Pt-Cu合金纳米枝晶的合成及其氧还原催化性能

纳米材料的结构和化学成分对其催化性能的显著影响已经得到验证. 因此,本文通过一种简易的蚀刻方法,合成出具有均匀合金结构且尺寸和形貌均一的Pt-Cu纳米枝晶（NDs）作为高效氧还原（ORR）催化剂. 其树枝状形貌的形成得益于由Br^-/O₂氧化蚀刻剂引起的蚀刻效应. 通过改变Pt/Cu前驱体的比例可以容易地调节Pt-Cu NDs的Pt/Cu原子比,而不会使其树枝状形貌发生改变. 活性最高的碳载Pt₁Cu₁ NDs（Pt₁Cu₁ NDs/C）的面积比活性为1.17 mA·cm^-2@0.9V（vs. RHE）,约为商业Pt/C的5.32倍. 此外,Pt₁Cu₁ NDs/C还具有卓越的电化学耐久性,即使在经过加速衰减实验的12000个电势循环后仍保持其优异的ORR催化活性. Pt₁Cu₁ NDs/C优异的ORR催化活性和电化学耐久性得益于由其合金结构和枝晶形貌产生的电子效应和结构效应.

直接甲醇燃料电池（DMFC）是一种将甲醇燃料的化学能直接转化为电能的能量转换装置,具有能量转化效率高、环境友好、燃料来源丰富等优势,在移动电源等领域具有广泛应用前景,但阳极铂基电催化剂的性能及成本制约着DMFC的发展。本论文通过简单的液相浸渍还原法,制备了系列PtCu/C纳米电催化剂,电化学性能测试结果表明,电催化剂对甲醇氧化反应（MOR）活性顺序为商品Pt/C < Pt₃Cu/C < PtCu₄/C < PtCu/C < PtCu₃/C,且活性最高的PtCu₃/C电催化剂表现出较为优异的电化学稳定性。结合物相表征、电化学测试及DFT计算,阐释了PtCu₃/C催化剂中存在的少量CuO相能够促进水分子解离产生*OH,通过双功能机制促进类CO反应中间物种氧化为CO₂。因此,相比于商品Pt/C,虽然PtCu₃/C电催化剂的ECSA不足其一半,但质量比活性和面积比活性分别提高1.88倍和3.74倍。

　　在前期研究基础上,本文探索多级结构氮掺杂碳纳米笼(hNCNC)作为新型载体负载 Pt的能力,并评价所构建的负载型催化剂 Pt/hNCNC的电催化性能.通过简便的微波辅助多元醇还原法,将氯铂酸还原成 Pt纳米粒子负载于 hNCNC的表面.为了揭示氮掺杂的效应,我们对比研究了具有相似分级结构但无掺杂的碳纳米笼(hCNC)以及商业化活性炭(Val-can XC-72)作为载体的情况.经热重(TG)和 X射线光电子能谱(XPS)分析,三种催化剂 Pt/hNCNC、Pt/hCNC和 Pt/XC-72的负载量均接近理论负载量(23.1 wt%),都主要以金属态存在.然而,扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)结果表明, Pt/hNCNC的 Pt分散状态优于 Pt/hCNC,更远优于 Pt/XC-72. Pt/hNCNC的平均 Pt粒径最小,仅约3.3 nm.这种良好的分散状态主要得益于氮原子掺杂,高负电性的氮原子改变了局域的表面极性,有利于 Pt颗粒的成核,也有利于固定 Pt颗粒.
　　由于 hNCNC对 Pt的优异分散能力, Pt/hNCNC表现出高的电化学活性面积.氢吸附和一氧化碳溶出伏安曲线表明, Pt/hNCNC的电化学活性面积高于 Pt/hCNC和 Pt/XC-72,这与显微观察和 X射线衍射(XRD)结果相吻合. Pt/hNCNC展现出优异的甲醇电催化氧化活性和高稳定性,其催化电流明显高于 Pt/hCNC和 Pt/XC-72,电流衰减亦慢于 Pt/hCNC和 Pt/XC-72. hNCNC的分级微纳米结构有利于孔内传质和电子输运,从而提高反应速度. hNCNC的氮掺杂有利于 Pt在载体表面的分散,增强了载体-金属相互作用,提高了电化学活性面积和催化活性.为了进一步考察 hNCNC对 Pt的负载能力,本文还考察了高负载量 Pt/hNCNC的性能.在负载量高达60 wt%时, Pt/hNCNC中的 Pt颗粒仍无明显聚集,其甲醇氧化电流增加了30%,可以有效提高 DMFC的输出电流密度.

Pyrolysis of chloroplatinic acid to directly immobilize platinum nanoparticles onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Platinum nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Pt/MWCNTs) were first prepared by simple pyrolysis of H₂PtCl₆ solution. The structure of Pt/MWCNTs was characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the results showed that the diameter of the obtained platinum nanoparticles immobilized on MWCNTs was below 50 nm, although the obtained platinum nanoparticles were not well uniformly dispersed on the surface of MWCNTs. The electrocatalytic performance of Pt/MWCNTs electrode for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) was also investigated by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), indicating that it was possible to employ the obtained platinum nanoparticles as anode material in fuel cell. Developing a novel and simple method to prepare platinum nanoparticles onto MWCNTs is the main contribution of this letter. Published in Russian in Elektrokhimiya, 2008, Vol. 44, No. 8, pp. 1050–1053. The text was submitted the authors in English.     

Synthesis of Pt and Pt-Fe nanoparticles supported on MWCNTs used as electrocatalysts in the methanol oxidation reaction

This work reports a feasible synthesis of highly-dispersed Pt and Pt-Fe nanoparticles supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes （MWCNTs） without Fe and multiwall carbon nanotubes with iron （MWCNTs-Fe） which applied as electrocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation. A Pt coordination complex salt was synthesized in an aqueous solution and it was used as precursor to prepare Pt/MWCNTs, Pt/MWCNTs-Fe, and Pt-Fe/MWCNTs using FeC12.4H20 as iron source which were named S 1, S2 and S3, respectively. The coordination complex of platinum （TOA）2PtC16 was obtained by the chemical reaction between （NH4）2PtC16 with tetraoctylammonium bromide （TOAB） and it was characterized by FT-IR and TGA. The materials were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, SEM, EDS, XRD, TEM and TGA. The electrocatalytic activity of Pt-based supported on MWCNTs in the methanol oxidation was investigated by cyclic voltammetry （CV） and chronoamperometry （CA）. Pt-Fe/MWCNTs electrocatalysts showed the highest electrocatalytic activity and stability among the tested electrocatalysts due to that the addition of ＂Fe＂ promotes the OH species adsorption on the electrocatalyst surface at low potentials, thus, enhancing the activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction （MOR）.     

Pt and Pt–Ru nanoparticles decorated polypyrrole/multiwalled carbon nanotubes and their catalytic activity towards methanol oxidation

Conducting polymer composite films comprised of polypyrrole (PPy) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) [PPy–CNT] were synthesized by in situ polymerization of pyrrole on carbon nanotubes in 0.1 M HCl containing (NH₄)S₂O₈ as oxidizing agent over a temperature range of 0–5 °C. Pt nanoparticles are deposited on PPy–CNT composite films by chemical reduction of H₂PtCl₆ using HCHO as reducing agent at pH = 11 [Pt/PPy–CNT]. The presence of MWCNTs leads to higher activity, which might be due to the increase of electrochemically accessible surface areas, electronic conductivity and easier charge-transfer at polymer/electrolyte interfaces allowing higher dispersion and utilization of the deposited Pt nanoparticles. A comparative investigation was carried out using Pt–Ru nanoparticles decorated PPy–CNT composites. Cyclic voltammetry demonstrated that the synthesized Pt–Ru/PPy–CNT catalysts exhibited higher catalytic activity for methanol oxidation than Pt/PPy–CNT catalyst. Such kinds of Pt and Pt–Ru particles deposited on PPy–CNT composite polymer films exhibit excellent catalytic activity and stability towards methanol oxidation, which indicates that the composite films is more promising support material for fuel cell applications.     

Achieving Superior Electrocatalytic Performance by Surface Copper Vacancy Defects during Electrochemical Etching Process

Vacancy defects of catalysts have been extensively studied and proven to be beneficial to various electrocatalytic reactions. Herein, an ultra‐stable three‐dimensional PtCu nanowire network (NNW) with ultrafine size, self‐supporting rigid structure, and Cu vacancy defects has been developed. The vacancy defect‐rich PtCu NNW exhibits an outstanding performance for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), with a mass activity 14.1 times higher than for the commercial Pt/C catalyst (20 %.wt, JM), which is currently the best performance. The mass activity of the PtCu NNW for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is 17.8 times higher than for the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Density‐functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the introduction of Cu vacancies enhances the adsorption capacity of Pt atoms to the HO* intermediate and simultaneously weakens the adsorption for the O* intermediate. This work presents a facile strategy to assemble efficient electrocatalysts with abundant vacancy defects, at the same time, provides an insight into the ORR mechanism in acidic solution.

Carbon black supported PtCu nanoparticles derived from mix-phased Cu precursor for high-performanced oxygen reduction reaction in acid medium

Alloying high-cost Pt with transition metals has been considered as an effective route to synthesize the electrocatalysts with low Pt loading and excellent activity towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) under acid solution. The galvanic replacement method, as featured with efficiency and simplicity, is widely reported to produce Pt-based bimetallic alloys and thereby declare the significance of reductive transition metal precursor on the enhancement of ORR performance. Herein, mix-phased Cu−Cu₂O precursor was applied to prepare carbon black supported highly dispersed PtCu alloy nanoparticles (PtCu/C). The proper Cu−Cu₂O ratios can exactly facilitate the generation of small sized PtCu alloy nanoparticles with regulated bimetallic content. Meanwhile, the Cu₂O phase is revealed to benefit the electron transfer from Pt to Cu and thus improve the intrinsic activity of Pt active sites. And the metallic Cu can favor the promotion of electrochemical active surface area. Consequently, the as-prepared PtCu/C behaves impressive ORR activity with half-wave potential of 0.88 V (vs. RHE) and mass activity of 0.49 A cm⁻² mg_Pt⁻¹ at 0.8 V, which is 9.8 times of commercial Pt/C catalysts. Our work will offer helpful advices for the development and regulation of novel Pt-based alloy materials towards diverse electrocatalysis.

Controllable pt nanoparticle deposition on carbon nanotubes as an anode catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells

We report a novel process to prepare well-dispersed Pt nanoparticles on CNTs. Pt nanoparticles, which were modified by the organic molecule triphenylphosphine, were deposited on multiwalled carbon nanotubes by the organic molecule, which acts as a cross linker. By manipulating the relative ratio of Pt nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes in solution, Pt/CNT composites with different Pt content were achieved. The so-prepared Pt/CNT composite materials show higher electrocatalytic activity and better tolerance to poisoning species in methanol oxidation than the commercial E-TEK catalyst, which can be ascribed to the high dispersion of Pt nanoparticles on the multiwalled carbon nanotube surface.
