Yolk–Shell‐Structured Cu/Fe@γ‐Fe2O3 Nanoparticles Loaded Graphitic Porous Carbon for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Core–shell Cu/γ‐Fe₂O₃@C and yolk–shell‐structured Cu/Fe@γ‐Fe₂O₃@C particles are prepared by a facile synthesis method using copper oxide as template particles, resorcinol‐formaldehyde as the carbon precursor, and iron nitrate solution as the iron source via pyrolysis. With increasing carbonization temperature and time, solid γ‐Fe₂O₃ cores are formed and then transformed into Fe@γ‐Fe₂O₃ yolk–shell‐structured particles via Ostwald ripening under nitrogen gas flow. The composition variations are studied, and the formation mechanism is proposed for the generation of the hollow and yolk–shell‐structured metal and metal oxides. Moreover, highly graphitic carbons can be obtained by etching the metal and metal oxide nanoparticles through an acid treatment. The electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction is investigated on Cu/γ‐Fe₂O₃@C, Cu/Fe@γ‐Fe₂O₃@C, and graphitic carbons, indicating comparable or even superior performance to other Fe‐based nanocatalysts.

PtCeOx/C as a novel methanol-tolerant electrocatalyst of oxygen reduction for direct methanol fuel cells

A prominent methanol-tolerant characteristic of the PtCeO_x/C electrocatalyst was found during oxygen reduction reaction process. The carbon-supported platinum modified with cerium oxide (PtCeO_x/C) as cathode electrocatalyst for direct methanol fuel cells was prepared via a simple and effective route. The synthesized electrocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the cerium oxide within PtCeO_x/C present in an amorphous form on the carbon support surface and the PtCeO_x/C possesses almost similar disordered morphological structure and slightly smaller particle size compared with the unmodified Pt/C catalyst.

Synthesis of Pt/C Electrocatalysts Under Protection of Glucose and Their Improved Methanol Electrooxidation Activity

Carbon supported Pt(Pt/C) electrocatalysts were prepared with glucose as protection agent and NaBH₄ as reductant. The Pt nanoparticles deposited on carbon support presented reduced size and well dispersity attributed to the protection effect of glucose. Glucose absorbed on the particle surface was readily removed by water washing without leading to agglomeration of the Pt nanoparticles. The as-prepared Pt/C electrocatalysts showed improved mass activity for methanol electrooxidation compared to the catalyst prepared without glucose protection. The improved performance is attributed to the larger electrochemical active surface area thus increased active sites on the Pt/C elctrocatalysts prepared under the protection of glucose.

通过低温氧化法在活性碳表面修饰聚吡咯(PPy-C), 并以PPy-C为载体制备了纳米Pd催化剂(Pd/PPy-C). 采用X射线衍射、扫描电镜、透射电镜等手段对载体PPy-C及催化剂Pd/PPy-C进行了表征, 电化学测试结果表明, Pd/PPy-C催化剂电极不但能够增强催化剂对甲酸催化氧化的活性, 而且还能够大幅度提高催化剂的稳定性, 因此以PPy-C为载体的Pd/PPy-C催化剂是一类具有潜在应用前景的直接甲酸燃料电池阳极催化剂. 通过分析电化学比表面随循环伏安次数的变化及多电势阶跃实验结果表明, 催化剂电极活性衰减的主要原因是载体被氧化及电极表面积累强吸附物种的结果.     

自组装合成Fe-N-C-PANI有序介孔结构催化剂及其在酸性条件下的氧还原活性
