Electroless-deposition Synthesis of Highly Active PtRu/C and PtRuSn/C as Anode Catalysts for DEFC

Abstract

应用化学镀方法,以活化-敏化处理的活性炭作载体,制备高分散催化剂PtRu/C和PtRuSn/C.XRD、TEM及电化学测试表明,该催化剂Pt、Ru、Sn形成合金.金属颗粒的平均粒径约为3 nm.PtRu/C和PtRuSn/C二者对乙醇的阳极氧化都具有良好的催化活性和稳定性.In this paper,the preparation,characterization,and ethanol electrocatalytic oxidation of Pt0.5Ru0.5/C and Pt0.5Ru0.15Sn0.35/C electrocatalysts were reported.The electroless-deposition with sensitization-activation pretreatment was applied to prepare Pt0.5Ru0.5/C and Pt0.5Ru0.15Sn0.35/C electrocatalysts. The XRD and TEM analyses showed that the as-prepared catalysts were composed of well-dispersed PtRu or PtRuSn nanoparticles with an average particle size of about 3 nm.The electrochemical measurements demonstrated that the as-prepared Pt0.5Ru0.5/C and Pt0.5Ru0.15Sn0.35/C catalysts exhibited much enhanced peak current density for ethanol electrooxidation as compared to that synthesized without pretreatment.This result revealed that the pretreatment is favorable to the dispersion,size distribution and alloy degree of the nanocatalysts on the carbon support.In particular,the peak current density of ethanol oxidation on Pt0.5Ru0.15Sn0.35/C was nearly twice larger than that of Pt0.5Ru0.5/C,indicating their potential application in DEFC with a synergic effect of Ru and Sn.作者联系地址:南开大学化学学院新能源材料化学研究所和能源材料化学天津市重点实验室,南开大学化学学院新能源材料化学研究所和能源材料化学天津市重点实验室,南开大学化学学院新能源材料化学研究所和能源材料化学天津市重点实验室,南开大学化学学院新能源材料化学研究所和能源材料化学天津市重点实验室,南开大学化学学院新能源材料化学研究所和能源材料化学天津市重点实验室,南开大学化学学院新能源材料化学研究所和能源材料化学天津市重点实验室,南开大学化学学院新能源材料化学研究所和能源材料化学天津市重点实验室 天津300071,天津300071,天津300071,天津300071,天津300071,天津300071,天津300071Author's Address: Institute of New Energy Material Chemistry and Key Laboratory of Energy Meterial Chemistry, Nankai University,Tianjin 300071,Chin
