Abstract
Herein, palladium-platinum nanoparticles were assembled onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide with the assistance of polyoxometalate K6P2W18O62 (abbreviated as P2W18) as photocatalyst via a facile and green photoreduction route. The as-prepared nanocomposites were investigated by characterizations including transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Motivated by the development of anode electrocatalyst of direct alcohol fuel cell, the assembled nanocomposite was developed as the electrocatalyst towards the electrooxidation of alcohol in alkaline electrolyte. Results show that the fabricated PdPt/P2W18/rGO nanocomposite exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic mass activity and stability compared with commercial 10% Pd/C catalyst, exhibiting potential practical prospect in fuel cell applications. The proposed fabrication approach can also be extended to the photoreduction preparation of other Pd alloy with the assistance of other polyoxometalate, and may spread the application in other fields.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
