چکیده
We report Pt nanocubes of ∼4.5 nm in size synthesized by thermal decomposition in the presence of PVP. The Pt cubic electrocatalysts with dominantly exposed {100} facets show much improved electrocatalytic activities in methanol, ethanol and formic acid electrooxidation.

Synthesis of Monodispersed Pt-Ni Alloy Nanodendrites and Their Electrochemical Properties
Structure-controlled Pt-based catalysts have been known to exhibit improved electrocatalytic activities due to particularly modulated surface structures favorable for alcohol electrooxidation. We report PtNi alloy dendrite structure for formic acid electrooxidation prepared by a thermal decomposition method. The Pt-Ni nanodendrites display 3-dimentional nanostructure and homogeneous alloy forma...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic properties of platinum catalyst for methanol electrooxidation enhanced by nafion-thionine ion-pair
Nafion (Nf)-thionine (Th) ion-pair as dispersant and second catalyst has been introduced in Pt catalyst for methanol electrooxidation and the resulting catalyst supported on carbon (NfThPt/C) has been investigated by electrochemical method. For the same loading mass of Pt, the peak current density of methanol oxidation on the NfThPt/C/graphite electrode is about 7.25 and 3.04 times as high as t...

−− The electrocatalytic properties of platinum nanoparticles incorporated into polyaniline films was investigated for oxidation of ethanol in sulfuric acid solutions. The electropolymerization of aniline and the electrochemical depositions of platinum particles into the polyaniline film were achieved by cyclic voltammetry. The effect of the formation conditions of platinum-modified polyaniline ...

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 کاملElectrocatalytic properties of platinum and it's binary alloy with vanadium in oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)
The electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on carbon supportedPt-V (1:1) catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) was investigated. Atan oxygen pressure of one atm an enhanced electrocatalytic property of Pt-V/Ccompared with Pt/C is revealed. These results indicate the occurrence of adifferent electrocatalytic mechanism for the ORR on Pt/C and Pt-V/C. Anincrease of mas...
