Polymerization of graphene oxide nanosheet by using of aminoclay: Electrocatalytic activity of its platinum nanohybrids

This study describes the polymerization of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet to reduced‐GO‐aminoclay (RGC) by covalent functionalization of chemically reactive epoxy groups on the basal planes of GO with amine groups of magnesium phyllosilicate clay (known as aminoclay). The resulting RGC sheets were characterized and applied to support platinum nanostructures at toluene/water interface.

Catalytic activity of Pt NPs thin films were investigated in the methanol oxidation reaction. Cyclic voltammetry results exhibit that the Pt/reduced‐GO (RGO) and Pt/RGC thin films showed improved catalytic activity in methanol oxidation reaction in comparison to other Pt NPs thin films, demonstrating that the prepared Pt/RGO and Pt/RGC thin films are promising catalysts for direct methanol fuel cell.

碳化钨-石墨烯插层复合物的制备及作为甲醇氧化助催化剂的性能研究

直接甲醇燃料电池(DMFCs)作为一种环境友好、高效的新能源,对解决世界目前面临的“能源危机”与“环境危机”这两大问题有着至关重要的意义,具有较广阔的应用前景.目前,甲醇氧化催化剂仍然以 Pt基为主,但是 Pt价格昂贵,且容易受甲醇氧化中间产物的毒化,从而影响了 DMFCs的商业化进程.碳化钨(WC)作为非贵金属催化剂,在催化方面具有类铂的性能.在 WC上负载适量的 Pt,可以通过两者的协同效应加强催化剂的抗 CO中毒能力.但是,由于 WC的导电性能不佳,比表面积较小,因此寻找合适的载体显得尤为必要.在碳载体中,石墨烯(RGO)具有优良的导电性以及独特的片层结构,是电催化剂的理想载体.以 RGO为载体, WC为插层物质制备的 WC-RGO插层复合物具有化学稳定性好、电导率高且电化学活性面积大等优势.但是,由于石墨烯表面光滑且呈惰性,同时使用传统的碳化方法制备的碳化钨颗粒较大,因此,制备较小颗粒且分散均匀的 WC-RGO插层复合物具有较大难度.一般以偏钨酸铵和氧化石墨烯(GO)为前驱体制备 WC-RGO插层复合物,但是由于偏钨酸根和 GO都带负电,因此不能成功地将偏钨酸根引入到石墨烯的片层结构中,造成 WC-RGO插层复合物组装上的困难.本文采用硫脲成功地合成了具有高分散性 WC纳米颗粒插层在少层 RGO里的 WC-RGO插层复合物.硫脲((NH2)2CS)作为阴离子接受器,具有较强的结合阴离子形成稳定复合物的能力,同时它也是合成具有片层结构的过渡金属硫化物的原料之一.因此在 WC-RGO插层复合物组装过程中,硫脲既作为锚定及诱导剂,又是制备片层二硫化钨(WS2)的硫源.材料具体制备方法如下：首先利用浸渍法,将偏钨酸根阴离子([H2W12O40]6?)牵引到(NH2)2CS改性过的 GO上形成[H2W12O40]6?-(NH2)2CS-GO前驱体;然后将前驱体放入管式炉中还原碳化,前驱体先反应生成 WS2;由于 WS2自身的2D片层结构,反应中可以得到 WS2-RGO插层复合物,接着原位碳化生成 WC-RGO插层复合物.碳化钨-石墨烯负载铂电催化剂(Pt/WC-RGO)通过微波辅助法制得,并采用 X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜及激光拉曼光谱等手段对其结构与形貌进行了表征.结果显示,在 WC-RGO插层复合物中, WC的平均粒径为1.5 nm, RGO的层数约为5层.在甲醇电氧化反应中,相比于商用 Pt/C催化剂, Pt/WC-RGO插层复合物催化剂具有更高的电化学活性面积(ECSA)和较高的峰电流密度(246.1 m2/g Pt,1364.7 mA/mg Pt),分别是 Pt/C的3.66和4.77倍.我们分别利用 CO溶出伏安法、计时电流法及加速耐久性试验法验证了 Pt/WC-RGO催化剂优秀的抗 CO中毒能力及稳定性. Pt/WC-RGO催化剂特殊的插层结构,在增加 WC与 Pt接触机会以加强协同作用的同时,促进了催化过程中质量及电荷的转移,因而具有比 Pt/C更高的催化活性.可见,通过制备WC-RGO插层复合物可降低 Pt用量,从而大大地降低燃料电池中电催化剂的成本.同时,我们使用的是一种高效,可大批量生产纳米材料的方法,有助于催化剂的商业化.     

Sonochemical synthesis of graphene oxide supported Pt–Pd alloy nanocrystals as efficient electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation

Pt–Pd bimetallic nanoparticles supported on graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were prepared by a sonochemical reduction method in the presence of polyethylene glycol as a stabilizing agent. The synthetic method allowed for a fine tuning of the particle composition without significant changes in their size and degree of aggregation. Detailed characterization of GO-supported Pt–Pd catalysts was carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), AFM, XPS, and electrochemical techniques. Uniform deposition of Pt–Pd nanoparticles with an average diameter of 3 nm was achieved on graphene nanosheets using a novel dual-frequency sonication approach. GO-supported bimetallic catalyst showed significant electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation. The influence of different molar compositions of Pt and Pd (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1) on the methanol oxidation efficiency was also evaluated. Among the different Pt/Pd ratios, the 1:1 ratio material showed the lowest onset potential and generated the highest peak current density. The effect of catalyst loading on carbon paper (working electrode) was also studied. Increasing the catalyst loading beyond a certain amount lowered the catalytic activity due to the aggregation of metal particle-loaded GO nanosheets.

Enhanced photo-electrocatalytic performance of Pt/RGO/TiO2 on carbon fiber towards methanol oxidation in alkaline media

In the present work, a novel electrode composed of TiO₂, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and Pt nanoparticles on carbon fiber (CF), denoted as Pt/RGO/TiO₂/CF, has been fabricated successfully and employed as a photo-electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation in alkaline media. The spherical TiO₂ nanoparticles are loaded on CF surface by an in situ method and wrapped by the gauze-like RGO. Meanwhile, the RGO effectively extends the absorption edge to visible light region based on the UV–vis diffuse reflectance absorption spectra (DRS) and promotes the good dispersion of Pt nanoparticles electro-deposited on the surface of RGO-wrapped TiO₂. The as-prepared Pt/RGO/TiO₂/CF electrode shows enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability compared with Pt/TiO₂/CF and Pt/CF electrodes both with and without light irradiation. The RGO plays an important role for the enhancement of electrocatalytic and photo-electrocatalytic performance. Moreover, Pt/RGO/TiO₂/CF presents a higher photo-electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation with light irradiation than that without light irradiation due to the synergistic effect among them.
