Electrosynthesized Reduced Graphene Oxide-Supported Platinum, Platinum-Copper and Platinum-Nickel Nanoparticles on Carbon-Ceramic Electrode for Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Ethanol in Acidic Media
In this work, the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol was studied in acidic media at the wholly electrosynthesized nanocomposites: platinum and its alloys (copper and nickel) anoparticles/reduced graphene oxide on the carbon-ceramic electrode (Pt/rGO/CCE, Pt-Cu/rGO/CCE, and Pt-Ni/rGO/CCE electrocatalysts). The electrosynthesized nanocomposites were characterized by scan...
متن کاملPlasma nitriding induced growth of Pt-nanowire arrays as high performance electrocatalysts for fuel cells
In this work, we demonstrate an innovative approach, combing a novel active screen plasma (ASP) technique with green chemical synthesis, for a direct fabrication of uniform Pt nanowire arrays on large-area supports. The ASP treatment enables in-situ N-doping and surface modification to the support surface, significantly promoting the uniform growth of tiny Pt nuclei which directs the growth of ...
متن کاملPlatinum Nanoparticles Deposited on Oxygen-Containing Functional Groups at Carbon Vulcane XC-72 as a Cathode Catalyst for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Surface oxidized carbon vulcane XC-72 is prepared as catalyst support and platinumnanoparticles are chemically anchored onto the modified surface. The nanoparticles of Pt weresynthesized by reduction of H2PtCl6 with sodium borohydride in a 5.5 M buffer solution ofsodium citrate; the complexation of citrate with metal ions is beneficial to the formation ofnanoparticles. The electro-oxidation of ...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Electrocatalyst Nanoparticles for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Applications Using β-D-glucose as Protection Agent
In this study, the activity, stability and performance of carbon supported platinum (Pt/C) electrocatalyst in cathode and carbon supported Pt and ruthenium (PtRu/C) electrocatalyst in anode of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) were studied. The Pt/C and PtRu/C electrocatalysts were prepared by impregnation reduction method. The β-D-glucose was used as protection agent to reduce the particle size...
متن کاملPlatinum-Based Nanowire Networks with Enhanced Oxygen-Reduction Activity
Pt-Al and Pt-Y-Al thin-film electrodes on yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolytes were prepared by dealloying of cosputtered Pt-Al or Pt-Y-Al films. The selective dissolution of Al from the Pt-alloy compound causes the formation of a highly porous nanowire network with a mean branch thickness below 25 nm and a pore intercept length below 35 nm. The oxygen-reduction capability of the resulting e...
