应用化学还原两步法制备了壳层厚度不同的Ni—Pt核壳型纳米粒子,并用XRD,XPS,TEM,SEM技术表征了微粒的表面元素组成和物理结构,用动电位扫描法考察了该纳米粒子对氧还原反应的电催化活性。实验结果表明,合成的Ni—Pt微粒为球形核壳结构纳米粒子,外直径平均值约30nm,Ni核直径约17nm,Pt壳层厚度约8nm;核壳Ni-Pt/C相对Pt/C具有更高的电催化氧还原活性和抗甲醇性,电催化氧还原活性和抗甲醇能力随Pt壳层厚度改变有明显变化,变化的规律呈火山形,核壳Ni-Pt/C催化性能随Pt壳层厚度改变的机理符合“d电子调变效应”机理。
Core-shell Ni-Pt nanoparticles with different thickness of Pt shell were synthesized by two-step chemical reduction method and characterized by XRD,XPS,SEM and TEM. The activity for ORR and anti-methanol performance of Ni-Pt in acid electrolytes were studied by linear scan voltammetry on rotating disk electrode. The results indicate that the spherical Ni-core nano- particles were covered by Pt shell,the size of Ni-Pt particles was about 30nm, and the thickness of Pt shell was about 8 nm. Compared with Pt/C, Ni-Pt/C was higher in current density and lower in over-potential. Moreover, the anti-methanol performance of the catalyst was higher than that of Pt/C. The activity of ORR and anti-methanol performance on Ni-Pt/C with different thickness of Pt shell exhibited 'volcano-type' behavior and the influences of Ni-core was in accordance with the theory of "the d-electron inductive effect "
