Methanol electro-oxidation on platinum modified tungsten carbides in direct methanol fuel cells: a DFT study.
In exploration of low-cost electrocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), Pt modified tungsten carbide (WC) materials are found to be great potential candidates for decreasing Pt usage whilst exhibiting satisfactory reactivity. In this work, the mechanisms, onset potentials and activity for electrooxidation of methanol were studied on a series of Pt-modified WC catalysts where the bar...
متن کاملSelf-assembled platinum nanoparticles on sulfonic acid-grafted graphene as effective electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation in direct methanol fuel cells
In this article, sulfonic acid-grafted reduced graphene oxide (S-rGO) were synthesized using a one-pot method under mild conditions, and used as Pt catalyst supports to prepare Pt/S-rGO electrocatalysts through a self-assembly route. The structure, morphologies and physicochemical properties of S-rGO were examined in detail by techniques such as atomic force microscope (AFM), transmission elect...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on platinum modified polyaniline electrodes
Electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on Pt modified polyaniline electrodes was investigated with the aim of developing highly active composite electrodes for direct methanol fuel cells. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used to evaluate the catalytic activity in sulfuric acid solutions containing methanol. Pt / polyaniline modified carbon electrodes showed higher catalytic activit...
متن کاملLiquid methanol concentration sensors for direct methanol fuel cells
Liquid-fed direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are one of the most promising candidates for portable power electronics and automotive pplications due to their potentially high-energy density, simple storage, and distribution of the fuel. The concentration of methanol in the fuel irculation loop of a DMFC system is an important operating parameter, because it determines the electrical performance...
متن کاملMethanol-Tolerant Platinum-Palladium Catalyst Supported on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanofiber for High Concentration Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
Pt-Pd catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber (N-CNF) was prepared and evaluated as a cathode electrode of the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The N-CNF, which was directly synthesized by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition from acetonitrile at 640 °C, was verified as having a change of electrochemical surface properties such as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activities and...
