采用在乙二醇溶液中添加十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)作为稳定剂的调变乙二醇还原法,制备了高分散的碳纳米管(CNTs)负载Pt电催化剂Pt/CNTs。利用紫外-可见(UV-Vis)、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)和X射线衍射(XRD)光谱研究了催化剂的制备过程和结构,考察了Pt/CNTs制备过程中SDS的添加对其结构和甲醇电催化氧化活性的影响。结果表明,在乙二醇溶液中PtCl2-₆与SDS形成了配合物,PtCl2-₆能够被乙二醇完全还原;超声处理后的CNTs表面接上了含氧基团,有利于Pt粒子的吸附,催化剂上不残留有SDS;Pt/CNTs电催化剂具有典型的面心立方结构,添加SDS制备的Pt/CNTs-2电催化剂Pt高度分散,粒径更小,达4.5 nm。循环伏安(CV)测试结果表明,添加SDS制备的Pt/CNTs-2电催化剂比传统乙二醇还原法制备的Pt/CNTs-1具有更高的甲醇电催化氧化活性。

In situ SAXS study on size changes of platinum nanoparticles with temperature

Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)-coated platinum (Pt) nanoparticles were prepared in methanol-water reduction method. In situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to probe the size change of particles and crystallites with temperature. Tangent-by-tangent (TBT) method of SAXS data analysis was improved and used to get the particle size distribution (PSD) from SAXS intensity. Scherrer’s equation was used to derive the crystallite size from XRD pattern. Combining SAXS and XRD results, a step-like characteristic of the Pt nanoparticle growth has been found. Three stages (diffusion, aggregation, and agglomeration) can be used to describe the growth of the Pt nanoparticles and nanocrystallites. Aggregation was found to be the main growth mode of the Pt nanoparticles during heating. The maximum growth rates of Pt nanoparticles and Pt nanocrystallites, as well as the maximum aggregation degree of Pt nanocrystallites were found, respectively, at 250 °C, 350 °C and 300 °C. These results are helpful to understanding the growth mode of nanoparticles, as well as controlling the nanoparticle size.     

Preparation of cholesterol oxidase nanoparticles and their application in amperometric determination of cholesterol

Highly dispersed platinum nanoparticles were deposited on gram quantities of non-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) in a fluidized bed reactor at 300 °C. (Methylcyclopentadienyl) trimethylplatinum and oxygen were used as precursors. The results of TEM analysis showed that ~1.3 nm Pt nanoparticles were highly dispersed on non-functionalized MWCNTs. The porous structures of MWCNTs did not change with the deposition of Pt nanoparticles. For comparison, the commercial 3 wt% Pt/C catalyst was also characterized. The ALD-prepared Pt/MWCNT was used for the hydrogenation of xylose to xylitol. The ALD-prepared Pt/MWCNT showed the best catalytic performance with 100 % conversion of xylose and 99.3 % selectivity to xylitol, compared to commercially available Pt/C, Ru/C, and Raney Ni catalysts. The stability of ALD produced Pt/MWCNT catalyst was higher than that of the commercial Pt/C, due to the presence of surface defects on the MWCNTs and the strong metal–support interaction for the ALD-prepared Pt/MWCNT catalyst.     

Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon with Mesopore Confinement Efficiently Enhances the Tolerance,Sensitivity, and Stability of a Pt Catalyst for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) present some of the most challenging vulnerability issues reducing ORR performance and shortening their practical lifetime. Fuel crossover resistance, selective activity, and catalytic stability of ORR catalysts are still to be addressed. Here, a facile and in situ template‐free synthesis of Pt‐containing mesoporous nitrogen‐doped carbon composites (Pt‐m‐N‐C) is designed and specifically developed to overcome its drawback as an electrocatalyst for ORR, while its high activity is sustained. The as‐prepared Pt‐m‐N‐C catalyst exhibits high electrocatalytic activity, dominant four‐electron oxygen reduction pathway, superior stability, fuel crossover resistance, and selective activity to a commercial Pt/C catalyst in 0.1 m KOH aqueous solution. Such excellent performance benefits from in situ covalent incorporation of Pt nanoparticles with optimal size into N‐doped carbon support, dense active catalytic sites on surface, excellent electrical contacts between the catalytic sites and the electron‐conducting host, and a favorable mesoporous structure for the stabilization of the Pt nanoparticles by pore confinement and diffusion of oxygen molecules.     

Binary-surfactant (Brij 35 + Tween 20) assisted preparation of highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles on carbon

Pt nanoparticles supported on Vulcan XC-72R, synthesized by a surfactant-stabilized colloidal method, exhibited excellent properties as anode catalyst for low-temperature fuel cell. The Pt/C catalyst prepared with binary-surfactant (Brij 35 + Tween 20) at 10 times CMC had an average particle size of 2.8 nm with quite a narrow distribution between 2 and 4 nm. Our preparation method resulted in complete reduction of Pt and full loading of Pt nanoparticles on the carbon. The home-made Pt/C catalyst showed higher EAS and better catalytic activity than a commercial Pt/C catalyst. The method used in this study provided an easy and reproducible procedure for the preparation of Pt nanoparticles supported on carbon.     

Improving the electrical catalytic activity of Pt/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanocomposites by a combination of electrospinning and microwave irradiation

One of the greatest challenges in preparing TiO₂-based oxygen electrodes for PEM fuel cells is increasing the electrical catalytic activity of Pt nanoparticle/TiO₂ composites by improving the dispersion of Pt. This article describes a new way for improving the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles by depositing them on TiO₂ fibers and using microwave irradiation. The Pt nanoparticles used in this experiment is about 5 nm in diameter and the diameter of TiO₂ fibers could be controlled ranging from 30 to 60 nm and Pt nanoparticles still keep their size when the deposition amount is increased on the surface of TiO₂ fibers. The Pt nanoparticles were highly dispersed without agglomeration even at a weight percentage of composites as high as 40%. The position of Pt nanoparticles located in the fiber and the composition of Pt/TiO₂, which had great influence on the electric conductivity and electrical catalytic activity of the composite, could be easily controlled.     

Successive electrodeposition of polydopamine and PtPd metal on a graphene oxide support for use as anode fuel cell catalysts

Successive electropolymerization of dopamine and electrodeposition of Pd and/or Pt on a graphene oxide (GO) support were used to prepare anode catalysts for low-temperature fuel cells. Transmission electron microscopy images were used to investigate the morphologies and distribution of the prepared catalysts, which showed the metal formed as nanoparticles on the catalysts. The GO surface was favorable for the modification with electropolymerized polydopamine (PDA) and the electrodeposition of metal catalyst nanoparticles using a simple preparation process. The PDA-loaded GO composite was used as a matrix for the dispersion of Pt and Pd nanoparticles. GO could be simultaneously modified by PDA and reduced without using reducing agents. The electrocatalytic performance of the catalysts for the oxidation of selected small molecule fuels (e.g., methanol, ethanol and formic acid) was examined. An outstanding catalytic activity and stability was found for the prepared Pt/Pd/PDA/GO composite, which was attributed to the high active surface area.     

Preparation and electrocatalytic performance of the Pt supported on the alkali-treated nanoporous TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> material

In this work, we prepared a Pt/TiO₂ electrocatalyst for methanol electrooxidation. The Pt nanoparticles were loaded on the alkali-treated nanoporous TiO₂ by a convenient deposition method. The morphology of the nanoporous TiO₂ was depended on the alkali treatment time. After 15-min alkali treatment, the flocculent-liked nanostructure was formed, and the specific surface area of the material was the largest. The amounts as well as the size and distribution of Pt nanoparticles were controlled by loading times. The catalytic activities of the catalysts toward methanol electrooxidation were tested in the alkaline condition. The alkali treatment time and chemical loading time were the key factors that influenced the catalytic activities. The optimal catalytic activity was achieved when the loading time was six.

The Raman spectrum and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum show the introduction of defects or functional groups on CNTs surface, which are crucial factors to assist the nucleation and growth of Pt NPs along the skeleton of CNTs.

The platinum-gold bimetallic nanoparticles supported poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-benzidine)-grafted graphene oxide (poly(CP-co-BZ)-g-GO) composite has been prepared for electrochemical performance studies. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometric studies were carried out to check the electrochemical properties of Pt-Au/poly(CP-co-BZ)-g-GO and Pt/poly(CP-co-BZ)-g-GO catalysts for methanol, ethylene glycol and glycerol in alkaline medium. The morphology and crystalline structure of the prepared Pt-Au/poly(CP-co-BZ)-g-GO and Pt/poly(CP-co-BZ)-g-GO and catalysts have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). From the electrochemical results, it was concluded that Pt-Au/poly(CP-co-BZ)-g-GO catalyst shows higher catalytic activity and stability compared to Pt/poly(CP-co-BZ)-g-GO catalyst. The catalytic activity of Pt/poly(CP-co-BZ)-g-GO catalyst has been compared with Pt/poly(CP-co-BZ), Pt/GO and Pt/C catalysts. In addition, oxidation current of ethylene glycol is higher than the methanol and glycerol in alkaline medium on the prepared catalyst.
