直接甲醇燃料电池（DMFC）是一种将甲醇燃料的化学能直接转化为电能的能量转换装置,具有能量转化效率高、环境友好、燃料来源丰富等优势,在移动电源等领域具有广泛应用前景,但阳极铂基电催化剂的性能及成本制约着DMFC的发展。本论文通过简单的液相浸渍还原法,制备了系列PtCu/C纳米电催化剂,电化学性能测试结果表明,电催化剂对甲醇氧化反应（MOR）活性顺序为商品Pt/C < Pt₃Cu/C < PtCu₄/C < PtCu/C < PtCu₃/C,且活性最高的PtCu₃/C电催化剂表现出较为优异的电化学稳定性。结合物相表征、电化学测试及DFT计算,阐释了PtCu₃/C催化剂中存在的少量CuO相能够促进水分子解离产生*OH,通过双功能机制促进类CO反应中间物种氧化为CO₂。因此,相比于商品Pt/C,虽然PtCu₃/C电催化剂的ECSA不足其一半,但质量比活性和面积比活性分别提高1.88倍和3.74倍。

Solvent effects on Pt-Ru/C catalyst for methanol electro-oxidation

Alloying degree, particle size and the level of dispersion are the key structural parameters of Pt-Ru/C catalyst in fuel cells. Solvent(s) used in the preparation process can affect the particle size and alloying degree of the object substance, which lead to a great positive impact on its properties. In this work, three types of solvents and their mixtures were used in preparation of the Pt-Ru/C catalysts by chemical reduction of metal precursors with sodium borohydride at room temperature. The structure of the catalysts was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The catalytic activity and stability for methanol electro-oxidation were studied by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Chronoamperometry (CA). Pt-Ru/C catalyst prepared in H₂O or binary solvents of H₂O and isopropanol had large particle size and low alloying degree leading to low catalytic activity and less stability in methanol electro-oxidation. When tetrahydrofuran was added to the above solvent systems, Pt-Ru/C catalyst prepared had smaller particle size and higher alloying degree which resulted in better catalytic activity, lower onset and peak potentials, compared with the above catalysts. Moreover, the catalyst prepared in ternary solvents of isopropanol, water and tetrahydrofuran had the smallest particle size, and the high alloying degree and the dispersion kept unchanged. Therefore, this kind of catalyst showed the highest catalytic activity and good stability for methanol electro-oxidation.     

氧气在不同粒径Pt/C催化剂上的电催化还原

在甲醇溶剂中,利用SnCl2作为还原剂,通过控制反应条件制备了带有不同粒径Pt粒子Pt/C催化剂。X-射线衍射和透射电镜的研究表明获得的Pt/C催化剂中Pt粒子具有高度的均一性和良好的分散度。电化学研究显示,对于氧气的电催化还原,Pt/C催化剂存在着明显的粒径效应。当Pt粒子粒径为3.2 nm时,Pt/C催化剂对氧气的电催化还原的质量比活性最佳。Pt/C催化剂对氧气的粒径效应可能与其表面含氧基团含量、Pt粒子的比表面积及其晶面结构相关。

Influence of copper precursors in the steam reforming of methanol over Cu/SnO2/SiO2 catalysts

Cu/SnO₂/SiO₂ catalysts, prepared with three different copper precursors (copper nitrate, sulfate and chloride), were characterized and investigated for the steam reforming of methanol. Cu/SnO₂/SiO₂ catalyst, prepared with copper nitrate, showed the highest activity among the tested catalysts. The highest activity of the catalyst prepared with copper nitrate was ascribed to the highly dispersed Cu particles from CO adsorption experiment. The selectivity of methanol to H₂ decreased with an increase in the amount of acid on the surface of Cu/SnO₂/SiO₂ catalysts from FT-IR experiments.This revised version was published online in December 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effect of thermal treatment on phase composition and ethanol oxidation activity of a carbon supported Pt50Sn50 alloy catalyst

A carbon supported Pt–Sn electrocatalyst in the Pt/Sn atomic ratio 50:50 was prepared by the reduction of Pt and Sn precursors with formic acid and thermally treated at 200 °C (i.e., in the presence of solid tin) and 500 °C (in the presence of molten tin) in flowing hydrogen. In the absence of thermal treatment, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed a solid solution of Sn in the face centered cubic (fcc) Pt and SnO₂. After thermal treatment, the formation of a main phase of hexagonal PtSn (niggliite) and a secondary phase of cubic Pt₃Sn was observed in the Pt50Sn50 catalyst. The relative amount of the PtSn phase increased with increasing thermal treatment temperature. The presence of molten tin gave rise to the formation of some big particles during annealing at 500 °C. The activity for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) of the as-prepared catalyst was higher than that of both thermally treated catalysts and Pt75Sn25/C and Pt50Ru50/C by E-TEK. The higher activity for the EOR of the as-prepared Pt–Sn catalysts was ascribed to the presence of a large amount of SnO₂. Dedicated to Teresa Iwasita’s 65th birthday.

Kinetics of low temperature CO oxidation over Pt/SnO2 catalyst

In a CO−O₂ stoichiometric mixture, the kinetic parameters, reaction order, rate constant and activation energy of CO oxidation over a Pt/SnO₂ catalyst have been measured using a fixed bed flow reactor near 0°C. The results show that it is a first-order reaction. The activation energy of CO oxidation over Pt/SnO₂ prepared with SnO₂ calcined at 300°C was approximately 21 kJ/mol. The activation energy of CO oxidation over Pt/SnO₂ changed slowly with SnO₂ calcination temperature above 400°C, and reached approximately 45 kJ/mol.     

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.     

Mild Synthesis of Pt/SnO2/Graphene Nanocomposites with Remarkably Enhanced Ethanol Electro‐oxidation Activity and Durability

We have designed a new Pt/SnO₂/graphene nanomaterial by using L ‐arginine as a linker; this material shows the unique Pt‐around‐SnO₂ structure. The Sn²⁺ cations reduce graphene oxide (GO), leading to the in situ formation of SnO₂/graphene hybrids. L ‐Arginine is used as a linker and protector to induce the in situ growth of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) connected with SnO₂ NPs and impede the agglomeration of Pt NPs. The obtained Pt/SnO₂/graphene composites exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity and stability for the ethanol oxidation reaction as compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst owing to the close‐connected structure between the Pt NPs and SnO₂ NPs. This work should have a great impact on the rational design of future metal–metal oxide nanostructures with high catalytic activity and stability for fuel cell systems.
