Abstract

Platinum-based nanocomposites have been considered as one of the most promising catalysts for methanol oxidation reactions (MORs), which yet still suffer from low electrochemical activity and electron-transfer properties. Apart from van-der-Waals heterostructures, herein, we report a novel nanocomposite with the structure of Pt–Ru bimetallic nanoparticles covalently-bonded onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (Pt–Ru@MWCNT), which have been successfully fabricated via a facile and green synthesis method. It is demonstrated that the Pt–Ru@MWCNT nanocomposite possesses much enhanced electrocatalytic activity with the electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) of 110.4 m²·g⁻¹ for Pt towards MOR, which is 2.67 and 4.0 times higher than those of 20wt% commercial Pt@C and Pt-based nanocomposite prepared by other method, due to the improved electron-transfer properties originated from M–O–C covalent bonds. This work provides us a new strategy for the structural design of highly-efficient electrocatalysts in boosting MOR performance.

碳纳米管上铂钌共价键合的高效甲醇氧化研究

铂基纳米复合材料被认为是甲醇氧化反应(MORs)中最有前途的催化剂之一，但其电化学活性和电子转移性能仍然较低。除了范德华异质结构外，本文还报道了一种新型的纳米复合材料，其结构是由Pt - ru双金属纳米颗粒共价键合在多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)上(Pt - Ru@MWCNT)，该材料已经通过一种简单的绿色合成方法成功制备出来。结果表明，Pt- Ru@MWCNT纳米复合材料对MOR的电化学活性表面积(ECSA)为110.4 m2·g−1，比20wt%的商用Pt@C和其他方法制备的Pt基纳米复合材料的电化学活性表面积(ECSA)分别高2.67和4.0倍，这是由于M-O-C共价键的电子转移性质得到了改善。本研究为高效电催化剂的结构设计提供了一种新的策略。
