采用两步还原法制得Co@Pt/C核壳结构催化剂,其中Co与Pt的总质量分数为20%.通过改变金属前驱体的用量,制备了不同Co:Pt原子比的Co@Pt/C催化剂,以20%(W)Co@Pt(1:1)/C与20%(忉Co@Pt(1:3)/C表示.采用透射电镜(TEM)、光电子射线能谱分析(XPS)、循环伏安(CV)、线性扫描伏安(LSV)等方法考察了其结构与性能,并与实验室早先制备的40%(w)Co@Pt/C催化剂进行了比较.自制20%Co@Pt(1:1),C与20%Co@Pt(1:3)/C催化剂的金属颗粒直径约为2.2—2.3nm,在碳载体上分散均匀,粒径分布范围较窄,电化学活性比表面积(ECSA)分别为56和60m^2·g^-1,均超过商用催化剂20%Pt/C(E-tek)(ECSA=54m^2·g^-1).20%Co@Pt(1:1)/C与20%Co@Pt(1:3)/C的半波电位相较于40%Co@Pt(1:1)/C和40%Co@Pt(1:3)/C均向正向移动,表现出更好的氧还原(ORR)催化活性,并有望降低催化剂的成本,在质子交换膜燃料电池领域表现出良好的应用前景.
Core-shell structured Co@Pt/C electrocatalysts containing different mass fractions of Co to Pt, which are represented as 20% (w) Co@Pt(1:1)/C and 20% (w) Co@Pt(I:3)/C, were prepared by changing the ratio of metatlic precursors using a successive reduction method. The structure and electrochemical performance of the as-prepared catalysts were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The performance of the as-prepared catalysts was compared with that of 40% (w) Co@Pt/C catalyst we synthesized previously. The sizes of Co@Pt(l:l) and Co@Pt(1:3) particles ranged from 2.2 to 2.3 nm, and the metal particles were well dispersed on the carbon support. The electrochemical specific area (ECSA) of 20% Co@Pt(I:I)/C (56 m2. g-l) and 20% Co@Pt(I:3)/C (60 m2. g-l) were higher than that of commercial 20% Pt/C (E-tek) (54 m2- g-Z). Compared with those of 40% Co@Pt(I:I)/C and 40% Co@Pt(I:3)/C, the half-wave potentials of 20% Co@Pt(I:I)/C and 20% Co@Pt(I:3)/C shifted to the positive direction, and they correspondingly showed improved catalytic performance. The low cost and high performance of the 20% Co@Pt/C catalyst make it a promising Iow-Pt catalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
