Abstract
This study revisits the impacts of the presence of OH− and Cl− anions and/or different forms of Pt precursors during polyol synthesis of carbon-supported electrocatalysts. Efficiency of the synthesis process in terms of the %conversion of a Pt complex to Pt metal has been quantified. It is observed that Pt precursors based on [PtCl6]2− are reduced easily compared to those based on [Pt(OH)6]2−. Furthermore, presence of excess Cl− during synthesis results in decreased %conversion and reduced ECSA, which is opposite from other reported work synthesized at higher temperature and pure solvents. For Pt/C synthesis under mild conditions, 100 °C and 30 vol% EG in water as solvent, presence of OH− during synthesis decreases the ECSA and hence increases the Pt nanoparticle size and change of catalyst surface structure. Finally, a method to get insights into the surface structure of Pt-nanoparticles through analysis of the H-adsorption/H-desorption peaks has been proposed.
期刊介绍:
Electrocatalysis is cross-disciplinary in nature, and attracts the interest of chemists, physicists, biochemists, surface and materials scientists, and engineers. Electrocatalysis provides the unique international forum solely dedicated to the exchange of novel ideas in electrocatalysis for academic, government, and industrial researchers. Quick publication of new results, concepts, and inventions made involving Electrocatalysis stimulates scientific discoveries and breakthroughs, promotes the scientific and engineering concepts that are critical to the development of novel electrochemical technologies.
Electrocatalysis publishes original submissions in the form of letters, research papers, review articles, book reviews, and educational papers. Letters are preliminary reports that communicate new and important findings. Regular research papers are complete reports of new results, and their analysis and discussion. Review articles critically and constructively examine development in areas of electrocatalysis that are of broad interest and importance. Educational papers discuss important concepts whose understanding is vital to advances in theoretical and experimental aspects of electrochemical reactions.
