چکیده
This work attempted to improve the catalytic performance of an anodic catalyst for use in direct methanol fuel cells by coating graphene aerogel (GA) with platinum nanoparticles. A hydrothermal, freeze-drying, and microwave reduction method were used load Pt–Ru bimetallic nanoparticles onto a aerogel. The mesoporous structure is expected enhance mass transfer electrode. XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, TEM described as-synthesized PtRu/GA. Compared commercial PtRu/C same loading (20%), electrocatalytic PtRu/GA presents superior stability oxidation reaction. Furthermore, offers electrochemical surface area 38.49 m2g−1, maximal activity/specific activity towards 219.78 mAmg−1/0.287 mAcm−2, which higher than that PtRu/C, 73.11 mAmg−1/0.187 mAcm−2. Thus, enhanced proved GA has excellent potential Pt catalysts tolerance CO poisoning.

Electrooxidation of methanol was realised on platinum and perchlorate anion doped polypyrrole film electrodes in acidic media. A systematic kinetic investigation was performed and optimum experimental conditions for the preparation of the electrocatalytic system were determined. The presence of ClO4 − anions was confirmed by XPS analysis of the doped polymer matrix. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V....
متن کاملNi@Pt core-shell nanoparticles as an improved electrocatalyst for ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline media
Core-shell nanostructures are emerging as more important materials than alloy nanostructures and have much more interesting potential applications in various fields. In this work, we demonstrated the fast and facile synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles consisting of Pt thin layer as the shell and Ni nanoparticles as the cores. The described method herein is suitable for large-scale and low-cos...
متن کاملThree-dimensional modeling of transport phenomena in a planar anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell
In this article three dimensional modeling of a planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) was investigated. The main objective was to attain the optimized cell operation. SOFC operation simulation involves a large number of parameters, complicated equations, (mostly partial differential equations), and a sophisticated simulation technique; hence, a finite element method (FEM) multiphysics approach ...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of Pt3Co bimetallic nanoparticles supported on MWCNT as an electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation
The impregnation method was used to synthesize Pt and Pt3Co supported on MWCNTs applying NaBH4 as the reducing agent. The structure, morphology, and chemical composition of the electrocatalysts were characterized through SEM, XRD, and EDX. X-ray diffraction showed a good crystallinity of the supported Pt nanoparticles on the composites and showed the formation of Pt3<...
