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 کاملRegulated oxidation of nickel in multisegmented nickel-platinum nanowires: an entry to wavy nanopeapods.
Oxidation of solid metal nanoobjects is a versatile approach to generating hollow metal oxide nanostructures. The mechanism for the solid-to-hollow conversions has been attributed to the Kirkendall effect, which describes an unbalanced interdiffusion of a thermal diffusion couple. When a metal nanoobject is exposed to oxygen at elevated temperatures, the outward diffusion of the metal cations i...
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 کاملHighly active and durable methanol oxidation electrocatalyst based on the synergy of platinum-nickel hydroxide-graphene.
Active and durable electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation reaction are of critical importance to the commercial viability of direct methanol fuel cell technology. Unfortunately, current methanol oxidation electrocatalysts fall far short of expectations and suffer from rapid activity degradation. Here we report platinum-nickel hydroxide-graphene ternary hybrids as a possible solution to this lo...
