Effect of Ru addition on the structural characteristics and the electrochemical activity for ethanol oxidation of carbon supported Pt–Sn alloy catalysts

Binary Pt–Sn/C (1:1) and ternary Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:0.3 and 1:1:1) catalysts were synthesized by reduction of precursors with formic acid, and their activity for ethanol oxidation was compared with that of commercial Pt/C and Pt–Ru/C catalysts. Linear sweep voltammetry measurements at 40 and 90 °C showed that for potentials higher than 0.3 V vs. RHE, the Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:0.3) catalyst presents the highest activity for ethanol electro-oxidation, while the electrochemical activity of the Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:1) catalyst was lower than that of both the binary Pt–Sn/C and Pt–Ru/C catalysts. Tests in a single direct ethanol fuel cell confirmed the superior performance of the Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:0.3) electrocatalyst. The positive effect of the Ru presence in the Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:0.3) catalyst was ascribed to the interactions between Sn and Ru oxides.

Enhanced activity in ethanol oxidation of Pt<Subscript>3</Subscript>Sn electrocatalysts synthesized by microwave irradiation

High surface area carbon supported Pt and Pt₃Sn catalysts were synthesized by microwave irradiation and investigated in the ethanol electro-oxidation reaction. The catalysts were obtained using a modified polyol method in an ethylene glycol solution and were characterized in terms of structure, morphology and composition by employing XRD, STM and EDX techniques. The diffraction peaks of Pt₃Sn/C catalyst in XRD patterns are shifted to lower 2θ values with respect to the corresponding peaks at Pt/C catalyst as a consequence of alloy formation between Pt and Sn. Particle size analysis from STM and XRD shows that Pt and Pt₃Sn clusters are of a small diameter (∼2 nm) with a narrow size distribution. Pt₃Sn/C catalyst is highly active in ethanol oxidation with the onset potential shifted for ∼150 mV to more negative values and with ∼2 times higher currents in comparison to Pt/C.     

Carbon-supported IrSn catalysts for a direct ethanol fuel cell

Carbon-supported Ir₃Sn/C and Ir/C catalysts were simply prepared with NaBH₄ as a reducing agent under the protection of ethylene glycol at room temperature. TEM and X-ray diffraction (XRD) data showed that the catalysts with small particle size exhibited the typical characteristic of a crystalline Ir fcc structure. Their electro-catalytic activities in comparison with Pt/C and Pt₃Sn/C catalysts also prepared by the NaBH₄ reduction process were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and chronoamperometry (CA) techniques. The results indicated that Ir-based catalysts showed superior electro-catalytic activity towards ethanol oxidation to Pt/C and Pt₃Sn/C catalysts, mainly at low potential region. During single-cell tests at 90 °C, better performances of Ir-based catalysts as anodes were obtained compared to that of Pt/C catalyst. The comparable overall performance of Ir₃Sn/C to Pt₃Sn/C makes it a promising alternative choice of anode catalyst for direct ethanol fuel cells.     

Adsorption and oxidation of ethanol on colloid-based Pt/C, PtRu/C and Pt3Sn/C catalysts: in situ FTIR spectroscopy and on-line DEMS studies

The interaction of colloid-based, carbon supported Pt/C (40 wt%), PtRu/C (45 wt%) and Pt3Sn/C (24 wt%) catalysts with ethanol and their performance for ethanol electrooxidation were investigated in model studies by electrochemical, in situ infrared spectroscopy and on-line differential electrochemical mass spectrometry measurements. The combined application of in situ spectroscopic techniques on realistic catalysts and under realistic reaction (DEMS, IR) and transport conditions (DEMS) yields new insight on mechanistic details of the reaction on these catalysts under the above reaction and transport conditions. Based on these results, the addition of Sn or Ru, though beneficial for the overall activity for ethanol oxidation, does not enhance the activity for C-C bond breaking. Dissociative adsorption of ethanol to form CO2 is more facile on the Pt/C catalyst than on PtRu/C and Pt3Sn/C catalysts within the potential range of technical interests (<0.6 V), but Pt/C is rapidly blocked by an inhibiting CO adlayer. In all cases acetaldehyde and acetic acid are dominant products, CO2 formation contributes less than 2% to the total current. The higher ethanol oxidation current density on the Pt3Sn/C catalyst at these potentials results from higher yields of C2 products, not from an improved complete ethanol oxidation to CO2.     

醇在载钯碳化钨/碳纳米管催化剂上的氧化

直接乙醇燃料电池PtSn/C电催化剂的合成表征和性能

采用多元醇法制备了n(Pt)/n(Sn)比为2:1,3:1,4:1的PtSn/C电催化剂.通过XRD,TEM、循环伏安和氢化学吸附技术对催化剂进行了表征.TEM和XRD结果表明,不同比例的PtSn/C金属粒子的平均粒径均小于4nm,且粒径分布较窄;该系列催化剂中Pt具有fcc结构;PtSn间的相互作用使Pt晶格参数增大.循环伏安和氢化学吸附实验结果表明,加入Sn可抑制Pt对氢的吸附,Pt3Sn/C对乙醇的氧化电流比Pt4Sn/C高约1倍.用不同n(Pt)/n(Sn)比的催化剂作为直接醇类燃料电池阳极电催化剂,在相同条件下,随着Sn含量的增加,单电池最大输出功率逐渐增大,当Sn含量继续增大时,单池性能反而下降.导致不同比例PtSn催化剂活性差别的原因可能是由于Sn与Pt间的合金化程度不同和催化剂粒子尺寸效应及Sn含量对电池阻抗等几方面因素所致.对40h寿命测试前后的阳极Pt3Sn/C催化剂的分析(EnergydispersiveX-rayanalysis,EDX)结果表明,PtSn含量在测试前后均有所降低,PtSn催化剂的寿命尚有待改善.

Promotional effect of Snad on the ethanol oxidation at Pt3Sn/C catalyst

Oxidation of ethanol was studied at Sn_ad modified and unmodified Pt₃Sn/C and Pt/C catalysts. Pt₃Sn/C and Pt/C catalysts were characterized by XRD. Potentiodynamic and chronoamperometric measurements were used to establish catalytic activity and stability. High activity achieved at Sn_ad modified Pt₃Sn/C catalyst has not been observed at any bimetallic catalyst so far. Promotional effect of Sn_ad on the ethanol oxidation was related to the enhancement of CO oxidation rate in bifunctional mechanism. It was shown that electrodeposited Sn exhibited different effect on the catalytic activity compared to Sn in alloy.
