Oxygen reduction reaction activity of monodispersed Pt nanoparticles-loaded carbon black catalyst prepared with a Pt carbonyl cluster anion

Pt nanoparticles-loaded carbon black (CB) was prepared from Pt carbonyl cluster complexes, and had much narrower size distribution than commercial Pt nanoparticles/CB. In the former the monodispersed Pt nanoparticles were highly dispersed on CB without aggregation even at high Pt loading of 80 wt.%. Hydrodynamic voltammograms in O₂-saturated 0.05 M H₂SO₄ solution at 30 °C showed that the onset potential of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) current for the monodispersed Pt nanoparticles/CB electrode was more positive than that for a polycrystalline Pt electrode and similar to that for the commercial Pt nanoparticles/CB electrode. Moreover, the mass activity for ORR for the monodispersed Pt nanoparticles/CB electrode was ca. 4.9 times higher than that for the commercial Pt nanoparticles/CB electrode, clearly indicating that the control of size distribution of Pt nanoparticles is meaningful for reducing the Pt consumption.     

Characterization of Pt nanoparticles deposited onto carbon nanotubes grown on carbon paper and evaluation of this electrode for the reduction of oxygen

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were grown on the fibers of a commercial porous carbon paper used as carbon-collecting electrodes in fuel cells. The tubes were then covered with Pt nanoparticles in order to test these gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) for oxygen reduction in H2SO4 solution and in H2/O2 fuel cells. The Pt nanoparticles were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The majority of the Pt particles are 3 nm in size with a mean size of 4.1 nm. They have an electrochemically active surface area of 60 m2/g Pt for Pt loadings of 0.1-0.45 mg Pt/cm2. Although the electroactive Pt surface area is larger for commercial electrodes of similar loadings, Pt/MWCNT electrodes largely outperform the commercial electrode for the oxygen reduction reaction in GDE experiments using H2SO4 at pH 1. On the other hand, when the same electrodes are used as the cathode in a H2/O2 fuel cell, they perform only slightly better than the commercial electrodes in the potential range going from approximately 0.9 to approximately 0.7 V and have a lower performance at lower voltages.     

High dispersion Pt nanoparticles using mesoporous carbon support for enhancing conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells

<正>Mesoporous carbon(MC) with surface area of 380 m~2/g was prepared and employed as the carbon support of Pt catalyst for counter electrode of dye-sensitized solar cells.Pt/MC samples containing 1 wt%Pt were prepared by reducing chloroplatinic acid on MC using wet impregnation.It was found that Pt nanoparticles were uniform in size and highly dispersed on MC supports.The average size of Pt nanoparticles is about 3.4 nm.Pt/MC electrodes were fabricated by coating Pt/MC samples on fluorine-doped tin oxide glass.The overall conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells with Pt/MC counter electrode is 6.62%,which is higher than that of the cells with conventional Pt counter electrode in the same conditions.     

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.     

层级多孔碳载铂催化剂的制备及可达性

层级多孔碳作为氧还原铂基催化剂载体的选择之一, 简单的旋转圆盘电极(RDE)验证此类催化剂具有较高的氧还原活性, 但几乎都缺少膜电极(MEA)性能验证, 实用性无法保证. 本文设计制备了基于聚苯胺的层级多孔碳（NHPC）载铂催化剂（Pt/NHPC850）, 研究了其氧还原活性、 MEA质子传输和氧传输特性. RDE测试研究表明, Pt/NHPC850催化剂在低I/C（离聚物与碳载体质量比）时的面积活性低于实心碳载铂催化剂（Pt/XC-72）, 但当I/C增大到与膜电极中一致时, 由于Nafion树脂对Pt催化剂的毒化作用增强, 其面积活性反而优于 Pt/XC-72. Pt/NHPC850催化剂的高Pt分散性及其优异的抗Nafion毒化性能, 使其在I/C为0.8时的质量活性为Pt/XC-72催化剂的1.34倍. MEA质子传输研究表明, 即使在高加湿条件下, Pt/NHPC850质子电阻率仍高达72.6 mΩ·cm², 为Pt/XC-72的3倍. Pt/NHPC850制备的膜电极极化曲线在500 mA/cm²电流密度下性能迅速下降, Pt/NHPC850的氧增益电压达到144.4 mV, 比Pt/XC-72高56.7 mV. 表明Pt/NHPC850膜电极的质子传输和氧传输性能较差. 对比Pt/NHPC850催化剂的RDE和MEA的测试结果, 说明以层级多孔碳为载体的铂碳催化剂虽然耐Nafion毒化能力提高, 但是质子和氧气的氧传输性较差, 此类层级多孔碳还需进一步优化其结构, 才有可能满足低铂质子交换膜燃料电池（PEMFC）的应用需求.     

Optimizing Weights of Platinum in the Active Layer of the Cathode of a Hydrogen–Oxygen Fuel Cell with a Solid Polymer Electrolyte

The active layer of the cathode of a hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell with a solid polymer electrolyte is computer simulated. The active mass of the electrode consists of substrate grains (agglomerates of carbon particles with Pt particles embedded into them) and grains of a solid polymer electrolyte (Nafion). The substrate grains presumably contain hydrophobic pores, which facilitate the oxygen penetration into the active mass. A calculation of characteristics of such an electrode focuses on the optimization of platinum weights. The principal parameters of the system are concentration and size of grains of substrate and Nafion, Pt concentration in substrate grains, average diameter of hydrophobic pores in substrate grains, and the electrode polarization. The optimum, at a given electrode polarization, electrochemical activity of the active layer, its thickness, and the platinum weight are calculated. A link between these quantities and principal parameters of the active layer is revealed.     

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.     

碳纳米管电极上原位沉积Pt纳米颗粒

 本文利用原位离子交换法制备了碳纳米管(CNTs)载铂(Pt/CNTs)电极. X射线光电子能谱分析表明, Pt通过离子交换载于电化学功能化的CNTs表面. 扫描电镜照片显示, Pt高度分散于CNTs表面. X射线衍射分析表明, Pt的粒径约为4.0 nm. 离子交换法所制Pt/CNTs电极的电化学表面积和Pt的利用率均大于传统Pt/CNTs电极(Pt粒径约为2.5 nm), 其对氧还原的催化活性高于传统电极. 这归因于离子交换法所制电极的特殊结构,即Pt普遍载于电化学活性位上.
