大孔炭载Pd催化剂对甲酸氧化的电催化性能

用X射线能量色散谱(EDS)、X射线衍射(XRD)谱、拉曼光谱和电化学技术研究和比较了直接甲酸燃料电池(DFAFC)中Vulcan XC-72炭黑载Pd (Pd/XC)和大孔炭载Pd (Pd/MC)催化剂对甲酸氧化的电催化性能. 循环伏安曲线测量表明甲酸在Pd/XC和Pd/MC催化剂电极上主要氧化峰的峰电位基本相同, 在0.15 V左右, 但在Pd/MC催化剂电极上的峰电流密度比在Pd/XC催化剂上的大30%左右. 计时电流曲线测量表明, 在6000 s时, 在Pd/MC催化剂电极上的峰电流密度比在Pd/XC催化剂上的大38%左右, 这些结果说明Pd/MC催化剂对甲酸氧化的电催化活性和稳定性要好于Pd/XC催化剂. 由于Pd/MC和Pd/XC催化剂的Pd粒子平均粒径和相对结晶度相似, 因此, Pd/MC催化剂电催化性能好的原因只能归结于MC大的孔径和高的石墨化程度引起的高电导率.     

大孔碳载Ir催化剂对氨氧化的电催化性能

分别以大孔炭(MC)和Vulcan XC-72炭黑(XC)为载体,制备了Ir/MC和Ir/XC催化剂。 在用X射线能量色散谱(EDS)、X射线衍射(XRD)谱、拉曼光谱对催化剂表征的基础上,用电化学技术研究了2种炭载Ir催化剂对氨氧化的电催化性能,发现氨在Ir/MC催化剂电极上,氧化峰峰电流密度比在Ir/XC催化剂电极上大38.7%左右,而且电催化稳定性明显好于Ir/XC催化剂。 由于Ir/MC和Ir/XC催化剂的Ir粒子平均粒径和相对结晶度相似,因此,这只能归结于MC有大的孔径和孔率及高的石墨化程度引起的高电导率。 所以MC是一种比XC更好的催化剂的炭载体。     

石墨烯载Ir催化剂对氨氧化的电催化性能

用石墨烯(G)代替Vulcan XC-72炭(XC)作Ir的载体制备石墨烯载Ir(Ir/G)催化剂. 电化学的测量结果表明, Ir/G催化剂对氨氧化的电催化性能优于XC炭载Ir(Ir/XC)催化剂. X射线衍射(XRD)谱测量结果表明, Ir/G和Ir/XC催化剂的Ir粒子平均粒径相似. 拉曼光谱的测量结果表明, G的石墨化程度和电导率高于XC. 因此, Ir/G催化剂对氨氧化的电催化性能优于Ir/XC催化剂. 氨在Ir/G催化剂电极上氧化的电流密度与氨浓度呈很好的线性关系曲线, 相关系数R为0.99557. 因此, Ir/G催化剂电极可作为电流型电化学氨传感器的工作电极.

纳米碳管作为氧扩散电极催化层第二相碳载体的电极特性

A novel gas diffusion electrode using binary carbon supports (carbon nanotubes and active carbon) as the catalyst layer was prepared. The electrochemical properties for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline electrolyte were investigated by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the binary-support electrode exhibits higher electrocatalytic activity than the single-support electrode, and the best performance is obtained when the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes and activated carbon is 50 ∶50. The results from their electrode kinetic parameters indicate that the introduction of carbon nanotubes as a secondary support provides high accessible surface area, good electronic conductivity and fast ORR kinetics. The electrocatalytic activity of binary-support electrodes is obviously improved by the deposition of Pt nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes, even at very low Pt loading (45.7 μg/cm2). In addition, the EIS analysis results show that the process of ORR may be controlled by diffusion of oxygen in the thin film for binary-support electrodes with or without Pt catalyst.

Carbon nanotubes as a secondary support of a catalyst layer in a gas diffusion electrode for metal air batteries

In this paper, we report the use of binary carbon supports (carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and active carbon) as a catalyst layer for fabricating gas diffusion electrodes. The electrocatalytic properties for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) were evaluated by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in an alkaline electrolyte. The binary-support electrode exhibits better performance than the single-support electrode, and the best performance is obtained when the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes and active carbon is 50:50. The results from the electrode kinetic parameters indicate that the introduction of carbon nanotubes as a secondary support provides high accessible surface area, good electronic conductivity, and fast ORR kinetics. Furthermore, the effect of CNT support on the electrocatalytic properties of Pt nanoparticles for binary-support electrodes was also investigated by different loading-reduction methods. The electrocatalytic activity of the binary-support electrodes is improved dramatically by Pt loading on CNT carbon support, even at very low Pt loading. Additionally, the EIS analysis results indicate that the process of ORR may be controlled by diffusion of oxygen in the electrode thin film for binary-support electrodes with or without Pt catalyst.     

High-loading Pt nanoparticles on mesoporous carbon with large mesopores for highly active methanol electro-oxidation

High metal-loading Pt/C electrocatalysts are important for the fabrication of thin-layered membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). However, the preparation of high-loading Pt catalysts with a narrow size distribution of nanoparticles remains a challenge. Herein, ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) with large mesopores (~15 nm) and a high surface area (1316.0 m² g^?1) was fabricated using a SiO₂ nanosphere array as a template. This material was developed to support a high loading of Pt nanoparticles (60 wt%) and was then used as an electrocatalyst for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The prepared Pt/OMC contains Pt nanoparticles with an average size of ~1.9 nm that are uniformly dispersed on the mesoporous walls of the OMC. The Pt/OMC catalyst exhibits smaller Pt nanoparticle size, greater Pt dispersion, larger specific electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), and higher electrocatalytic activity for the MOR than the carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R)-supported Pt and the commercial Pt/C catalysts.     

Electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid on platinum particles dispersed in SWNT/PANI composite film

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/Polyaniline (PANI) composite film with good dispersion was prepared by electropolymerization of aniline containing well-dissolved SWNTs. Platinum (Pt) particles were electrodeposited on the SWNT/PANI composite film subsequently. The presence of SWNTs and platinum in the composite film was confirmed by XRD analysis. Four-point probe investigation exhibits that the electrical conductivity of SWNT/PANI composite film is significantly higher than that of pure PANI film. Cyclic voltammogram and Chronoamperogram show that Pt-modified SWNT/PANI electrode performs higher electrocatalytic activity than Pt-modified pure PANI electrode toward formic acid oxidation.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on Pt/NiZn electrode in alkaline medium

In this study, a platinum electrode was coated with NiZn layer (Pt/NiZn) in a nickel-zinc bath by electrodeposition for use as anode material for methanol electrooxidation in alkaline solution. The electrode prepared was etched in a concentrated alkaline solution (30% NaOH) to produce a porous and electrocatalytic surface suitable for use in the methanol electrooxidation (Pt/NiZn). The surface morphologies and compositions of coating before and after alkaline leaching were determined by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The effect of NiZn coated platinum electrode for methanol electrooxidation was investigated in 1 M NaOH solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Methanol electrooxidation on Pt/NiZn electrode was studied at various temperatures and potential scan rates. The results showed that Pt/NiZn electrode behaved as an efficient catalyst for the electrooxidation of methanol in alkaline medium.
