采用乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)作添加剂,Pt(NO3)2作前驱体制备了Pt/C催化剂,通过多种方法进行测试,并对形成机理进行了探讨.结果表明,加入的EDTA不能与Pt^2+配位形成络合物,而是通过静电作用与Pt^2+结合,使生成的Pt粒子不易团聚,得到的Pt/C催化剂中Pt粒子分布均匀,平均粒径约为3 nm.所制得的Pt/C催化剂对甲醇氧化具有很好的电催化活性和稳定性.
Carbon supported Pt(Pt/C) catalyst was prepared using Pt(NO3)2 as the precursor and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA) as additive.The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) spectroscopy,transmission electron microscopy(TEM),ultraviolet visible(UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy,Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy and electrochemical methods.The measurement results indicate that EDTA could not coordinate with Pt^2+,forming the complex.However,EDTA would combine to Pt^2+ through the electrostatic interaction,leading to that the Pt particles obtained are not easy to be aggregated.Thus,when Pt(NO3)2 was used as the precursor,EDTA can also effectively reduce the average size of the Pt particles and improve the dispersion degree.The average size of the Pt particles in the Pt/C catalyst obtained is only 3 nm and the dispersion of the Pt particles is uniform.Therefore,the Pt/C catalyst obtained has the excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability for methanol oxidation.
