利用NaBH4还原机制,采用经不同方法预处理的碳载体成功制备出Pt/C-HNO3、Pt/C-H2O和Pt/C3种碳载铂纳米催化剂。通过扫描电镜(SEM)、透射电镜(HR—TEM)、循环伏安(cv)和COad溶出技术进行表征。结果表明,所制备的催化剂大小分布较为均一,平均粒径约为4nm;HR.TEM观察发现,Pt/C—HNO,中铂纳米粒子的表面具有较高的台阶原子密度;在COad溶出实验中Pt/C.HN03表现出较强的抗一氧化碳毒化能力;所制备的3种催化剂及商业催化剂Pt/CJM对乙醇氧化的电催化活性顺序为:Pt/C—HNO,〉Pt/C-H2O〉Pt/C〉Pt/C JM,其中Pt/C-HNO3的电催化活性和稳定性分别为Pt/CJM的1.5倍和1.9倍。
Carbon supported Pt nanocatalysts (Pt/C) are widely used in fuel cells. In this work, three kinds of Pt/C catalysts were successfully prepared via a chemical reduction method by using carbon black pretreated with different methods, i.e., HNO3-pretreated carbon (Pt/C-HNO3), H2O2-pretreated carbon (Pt/C-H2O2) and unpretreated carbon (Pt/C). The morphologies and properties of the as-prepared Pt/C catalysts were characterized by SEM, HR-TEM, CV and COad stripping. Pt nanoparticles were dispersed well in these three Pt/C catalysts with average particle size of 3.4, 3.9 and 4.5 nm respectively. HR-TEM observation indicated that Pt/C-HNO3 possessed high-density of step atoms and COad stripping experiments showed that Pt/C-HNO3 exhibited the best anti-poisoning property. Comparing the catalytic activities of three as-prepared Pt/C catalysts toward ethanol electrooxidation with commercial Pt/C catalyst (Pt/C JM) showed that the as-prepared catalysts exhibited higher activity and stability than those of Pt/C JM and the order was Pt/C-HNOa〉Pt/C-HEO2〉Pt/C〉Pt/C JM. Especially for Pt/C-HNO3, its activity and stability were 1.5 times and 1.9 times of those ofPt/C JM respectively.
