Exploring efficient strategies to construct durable and active Pt-based electrocatalysts toward methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) remains great significance for the application of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Here, we report a facile pyrolysis procedure for fabricating carbon layer wrapped PtFeCo alloy nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNT). Physical characterizations demonstrate that the nitrogen-doped carbon support is highly graphitized and the PtFeCo particles are firmly wrapped by the graphitized carbon. Since the wrapping of highly graphitized carbon effectively prevents PtFeCo alloy from metal dissolution, the durability of the synthesized PtFeCo/Co–NCNTa catalyst has been substantially improved, remaining about 76% of its initial mass activity after 1000 cycles of durability test in acid condition. In addition, due to the strain and ligand effects caused by alloying Pt with Fe and Co, the PtFeCo/Co–NCNTa catalyst exhibits a greatly enhanced mass activity of 4.2-fold and a specific activity of 6.3-fold higher than those of commercial Pt/C-JM catalyst. Consequently, this work may provide an effective route for preparing durable and active Pt-based catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation. 相似文献

Exploiting high‐performance and inexpensive electrocatalysts for methanol electro‐oxidation is conductive to promoting the commercial application of direct methanol fuel cells. Here, we present a facile synthesis of echinus‐like PdCu nanocrystals (NCs) via a one‐step and template‐free method. The echinus‐like PdCu NCs possess numerous straight and long branches which can provide abundant catalytic active sites. Owing to the novel nanoarchitecture and electronic effect of the PdCu alloy, the echinus‐like PdCu NCs display high electrocatalytic performance toward methanol oxidation reaction in an alkaline medium. The mass activity of echinus‐like PdCu NCs is 1202.1 mA mgPd?1, which is 3.7 times that of Pd/C catalysts. In addition, the echinus‐like structure, as a kind of three‐dimensional self‐supported nanoarchitecture, endows PdCu NCs with significantly enhanced stability and durability. Hence, the echinus‐like PdCu NCs hold prospect of being employed as electrocatalysts for direct alcohol fuel cells. 相似文献

Among metals, Pt is so far the best material to be used as anode and cathode in low-temperature fuel cells. However, Pt has
the drawback of being expensive and easily CO-poisoned. Thus, to produce useful electrocatalysts, significant efforts have
been made worldwide on developing Pt-based catalysts with low Pt contents as well as searching for alternative materials with
high catalytic activity for anodic and cathodic reactions in low-temperature fuel cells. This article presents the development
of highly dispersed and nano-sized Pt-based electrocatalysts synthesized by several new methods based on our experimental
results. In the case of anode materials, our proposed new method consists of the synthesis of Pt-based nanoparticles in order
to maximize their surface availability, combined with the use of secondary metals that promote the oxidations of methanol
and CO. On the other hand, for the cathode materials, the use of the Pt catalysts mixed with metal oxides enhances their oxygen
reduction reaction (ORR) activity. We anticipate that the highly dispersed Pt-based nanoparticles introduced in this article
will improve the performance of anode and cathode for low-temperature fuel cells. 相似文献

Pd/C catalysts promoted by Au are investigated as electrocatalysts for the direct 2-propanol fuel cells in alkaline media. The results show that Pd is a good electrocatalyst for 2-propanol oxidation and the activity for 2-propanol electrooxidation is higher than that for methanol electrooxidation on the Pd/C electrocatalysts in alkaline media. Addition of Au can significantly increase the palladium catalytic activity and stability for the 2-propanol oxidation. PdAu4:1/C has higher electrocatalytic activity and better stability for the electrooxidation of 2-propanol than Pd/C and E-TEK Pt/C electrocatalysts. The present study shows the promising properties of Au promoted Pd/C as effective electrocatalysts for 2-propanol fuel based direct alcohol fuel cells. 相似文献

A new and highly improved electrocatalytic system of a composited hybrid electrode with Pt-based nanoparticles (NPs) and nanowires (NWs) is reported for low temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Pt-based NWs have been realized as an option that can provide facile charge transport with a high activity for oxidation of fuels, for overcoming the disadvantages of Pt-based NPs as the state-of-the-art electrocatalysts. Moreover, a network-like electrode structure using the anisotropic morphology of Pt-based NWs can also supply efficient mass transport and mitigate uneconomical use of Pt by reducing embedded catalyst particles. Herein, we demonstrate that an advanced and very efficient hybrid structure of electrode, composited with highly-dispersed Pt-based NPs and NWs, shows significantly improved performances both in the CH3OH-fueled and H2-fueled fuel cells via synergistic effects by integrating advantages of two different morphologies. 相似文献

Noble metal (Pt, Pd) electrocatalysts supported on carbon microspheres (CMS) are used for methanol and ethanol oxidation in alkaline media. The results show that noble metal electrocatalysts supported on carbon microspheres give better performance than that supported on carbon black. It is well known that palladium is not a good electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation, but it shows excellently higher activity and better steady-state electrolysis than Pt for ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline media. The results show a synergistic effect by the interaction between Pd and carbon microspheres. The Pd supported on carbon microspheres in this paper possesses excellent electrocatalytic properties and may be of great potential in direct ethanol fuel cells. 相似文献

Catalysts play decisive roles in determining the energy conversion efficiencies of energy devices. Up to now, various types of nanostructured materials have been studied as advanced electrocatalysts. This review highlights the application of one-dimensional (1D) metal electrocatalysts in energy conversion, focusing on two important reaction systems—direct methanol fuel cells and water splitting. In this review, we first give a broad introduction of electrochemical energy conversion. In the second section, we summarize the recent significant advances in the area of 1D metal nanostructured electrocatalysts for the electrochemical reactions involved in fuel cells and water splitting systems, including the oxygen reduction reaction, methanol oxidation reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, and oxygen evolution reaction. Finally, based on the current studies on 1D nanostructures for energy electrocatalysis, we present a brief outlook on the research trend in 1D nanoelectrocatalysts for the two clean electrochemical energy conversion systems mentioned above. 相似文献

This article reports the synthesis and performance of unsupported Ni(1-x)Zn(x) electrocatalysts for the oxidation of hydrazine in alkaline media. Characterization of these catalysts was achieved using XRD, SEM, and TEM to confirm phase compositions, crystal structures, and morphologies. High performance was observed for the α-Ni(0.87)Zn(0.13) and β(1)-Ni(0.50)Zn(0.50) electrocatalysts with an onset potential of -0.15 V (vs. RHE) and a mass activity of 4000-3800 A g(cat)(-1) at 0.4 V (vs. RHE), respectively. Additionally, in situ IRRAS studies were conducted to understand the mechanism of oxidation. These results demonstrate the feasibility of Ni(1-x)Zn(x) catalysts for direct hydrazine anionic fuel cells. 相似文献

The particle size effect observed on the performance of Pt/C electrocatalysts toward the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) has been investigated with differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS). The investigation has been conducted under both potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions as research on methanol electrochemical oxidation is closely related to interest in direct methanol fuel cells. The particle size effect observed on the MOR is commonly regarded as a reflection of different Pt-CO and Pt-OH bond strengths for different particle sizes. This work focuses mainly on the mechanism of methanol dehydrogenation on platinum which is central to the problem of the optimization of the efficiency of methanol electro-oxidation by favoring the CO(2) formation pathway. It was found that the partitioning of the methanol precursor among the end products on supported platinum nanoparticles is strongly dependent on particle size distribution. Also, it is postulated that the coupling among particles of different sizes via soluble products must be considered in order to understand the particle size effects on the observed trends of product formation. An optimum particle size range for efficiently electro-oxidizing methanol to CO(2) was found between 3 and 10 nm, and loss in efficiency is mostly related to the partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde on either too small or too large particles. The possible reasons for these observations are also discussed. 相似文献

In addition to the theoretical research, direct ethanol fuel cells have great potential in practical applications. The performance of direct ethanol fuel cells largely depends on the electrocatalysts. Pt-based electrocatalysts have been promising candidates for advancing direct ethanol fuel cells for its high catalytic activity and great durability. Here, a PtSn catalyst with unique three-dimensional porous nanostructure has been designed and synthesized via a two-step liquid phase reduction reaction. Sn formed a self-supporting framework in PtSn alloy particles (∼3.5 nm). In ethanol electro-oxidation reaction, the PtSn catalyst exhibited high mass activity and excellent recycling time compared with that of Pt/C. After the morphology characterization before and after potential cycling, the PtSn alloy-based nano-catalyst showed good stability. The PtSn catalysts effectively avoid structural instability due to the external carriers, and prolong the leaching time of Sn. In addition, the introduction of a certain amount of Sn can also solve the poisoning phenomenon of active sites on Pt surface. The design strategy of porous alloy nano-catalyst sheds light on its applications in direct ethanol fuel cells. 相似文献

The designs of efficient and inexpensive Pt-based catalysts for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) are essential to boost the commercialization of direct methanol fuel cells. Here, the highly catalytic performance PtFe alloys supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) decorating nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) have been successfully prepared via co-engineering of the surface composition and electronic structure. The Pt1Fe3@NC/MWCNTs catalyst with moderate Fe3+ feeding content (0.86 mA/mgPt) exhibits 2.26-fold enhancement in MOR mass activity compared to pristine Pt/C catalyst (0.38 mA/mgPt). Furthermore, the CO oxidation initial potential of Pt1Fe3@NC/MWCNTs catalyst is lower relative to Pt/C catalyst (0.71 V and 0.80 V). Benefited from the optimal surface compositions, the anti-corrosion ability of MWCNT, strong electron interaction between PtFe alloys and MWCNTs and the N-doped carbon (NC) layer, the Pt1Fe3@NC/MWCNTs catalyst presents an improved MOR performance and anti-CO poisoning ability. This study would open up new perspective for designing efficient electrocatalysts for the DMFCs field. 相似文献

This work reports a feasible synthesis of highly-dispersed Pt and Pt-Fe nanoparticles supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) without Fe and multiwall carbon nanotubes with iron (MWCNTs-Fe) which applied as electrocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation. A Pt coordination complex salt was synthesized in an aqueous solution and it was used as precursor to prepare Pt/MWCNTs, Pt/MWCNTs-Fe, and Pt-Fe/MWCNTs using FeC12.4H20 as iron source which were named S 1, S2 and S3, respectively. The coordination complex of platinum (TOA)2PtC16 was obtained by the chemical reaction between (NH4)2PtC16 with tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB) and it was characterized by FT-IR and TGA. The materials were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, SEM, EDS, XRD, TEM and TGA. The electrocatalytic activity of Pt-based supported on MWCNTs in the methanol oxidation was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA). Pt-Fe/MWCNTs electrocatalysts showed the highest electrocatalytic activity and stability among the tested electrocatalysts due to that the addition of "Fe" promotes the OH species adsorption on the electrocatalyst surface at low potentials, thus, enhancing the activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). 相似文献

Direct‐methanol fuel cells are proton‐exchange fuel cell in which methanol is used as the fuel. The important advantage of these fuel cells is the simplicity of transport and storage of methanol. In this study, methanol fuel cell electrocatalysts including graphene quantum dots (GQDs), functionalized multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (f‐MWCNTs) and GQDs/f‐MWCNTs composite were synthesized. The structures of synthesized electrocatalysts were highlighted by scanning electron microscope (SEM), raman spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and x‐ray diffraction (XRD) method. After that, the effective surface areas (ESA) of GQDs, f‐MWCNTs and GQDs/f‐MWCNTs were calculated. Finally, GQDs/f‐MWCNTs composite modified glassy carbon electrode (GQDs/f‐MWCNTs/GCE) showed highest current signals for methanol oxidation than those of comparable GQDs/GCE and f‐MWCNTs/GCE. 相似文献

Low-cost, non-noble-metal electrocatalysts are required for direct methanol fuel cells, but their development has been hindered by limited activity, high onset potential, low conductivity, and poor durability. A surface electronic structure tuning strategy is presented, which involves doping of a foreign oxophilic post-transition metal onto transition metal aerogels to achieve a non-noble-metal aerogel Ni97Bi3 with unprecedented electrocatalytic activity and durability in methanol oxidation. Trace amounts of Bi are atomically dispersed on the surface of the Ni97Bi3 aerogel, which leads to an optimum shift of the d-band center of Ni, large compressive strain of Bi, and greatly increased conductivity of the aerogel. The electrocatalyst is endowed with abundant active sites, efficient electron and mass transfer, resistance to CO poisoning, and outstanding performance in methanol oxidation. This work sheds light on the design of high-performance non-noble-metal electrocatalysts. 相似文献

Tailoring the morphology and composition of platinum‐based electrocatalysts is of significant importance for the development of highly efficient direct methanol fuel cells. Herein, we report a dual‐templating method for the design of hollow PtPd nanorods with mesoporous shells (mPtPd HNRs). We found that F127 micelles favored the formation of mesoporous structures and that SiO2 nanorods served as a hard template for the creation of cavities. The well‐developed mesopores, hollow structures, and bimetallic composition of the mPtPd HNRs afforded a sufficient number of active sites to facilitate the electrochemical oxidation of methanol, thereby leading to enhanced activity and stability. This strategy allowed for the reliable preparation of mesoporous hollow platinum‐based electrocatalysts with desired compositions and morphologies for catalytic applications. 相似文献
