Controlling and self assembling of monodisperse platinum nanocubes as efficient methanol oxidation electrocatalysts.
An efficient synthetic approach that enables not only the control of Pt nanocubes but also the one-pot fabrication of novel Pt nanocube assemblies was developed for the first time. The integration of well-defined building blocks and unique superstructures endows Pt nanocube assemblies with enhanced performance in the methanol electrooxidation, showing a new concept for further enhancing the per...
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 کاملActive and stable platinum/ionic liquid/carbon nanotube electrocatalysts for oxidation of methanol
Platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been prepared from PtCl6 2 ions through a facile ionic liquid (IL)-assisted method and used for methanol oxidation. 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMIM) with four different counter ions (PF6 , Cl , Br , and I ) has been tested for the preparation of Pt/IL/CNT nanohybrids, showing the counter ions of ILs play an important role in th...
متن کاملPlatinum Monolayer Electrocatalysts for Anodic Oxidation of Alcohols.
The slow, incomplete oxidation of methanol and ethanol on platinum-based anodes as well as the high price and limited reserves of Pt has hampered the practical application of direct alcohol fuel cells. We describe the electrocatalysts consisting of one Pt monolayer (one atom thick layer) placed on extended or nanoparticle surfaces having the activity and selectivity for the oxidation of alcohol...
متن کاملPtPd nanowire arrays supported on reduced graphene oxide as advanced electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation
Novel reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheet/PtPd nanowire hybrids were prepared by a mild wet chemical approach. Uniform Pt nanowire arrays are successfully supported on functionalized RGO nanosheets with Pd nanoparticles as growing seeds. The whole deposition process was achieved in aqueous solution at room temperature. TEM and HRTEM analysis indicated the single-crystal feature of the Pt nan...
