以炭气凝胶为载体,分别以甲醛、硼氢化钠和乙二醇为还原剂制备了Pt/CA催化剂。采用XRD技术对催化剂上Pt的分散度和粒径大小进行了分析。结果表明,以乙二醇为还原剂制备的Pt/CA催化剂上Pt分布最均匀,粒径为2.2 nm。通过电化学性能测试,发现3种催化剂的活性大小顺序为Pt/CA-EG〉Pt/CA-HCHO〉Pt/CA-NaBH4,其中催化剂Pt/CA-EG的电化学活性比表面积达到74.1 m^2/g,比质量活性达到248.8 A/g,并且其电化学性能远远好于商用催化剂。
Platinum catalysts supported on carbon aerogel(Pt/CA) were prepared by different reducing agents,including in HCHO,NaBH4 and EG(ethylene glycol).The Pt/CA catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry.The results indicated that the Pt/CA catalysts synthesized with ethylene glycol reducing agent achieved an extremely uniform Pt dispersion.The size of the Pt nanoparticles was 2.2 nm.Electrochemical analysis showed that the activity order was Pt/CA-EGPt/CA-HCHOPt/CA-NaBH4.The electrochemical active area and mass activity of the Pt/CA-EG catalyst reached 74.1 m2/g and 248.8 A/g,respectively,which were significantly higher than those of commercial Pt/C catalysts.
