摘要:

Carbon supported Pt(Pt/C) electrocatalysts were prepared with glucose as protection agent and NaBH4 as reductant. The Pt nanoparticles deposited on carbon support presented reduced size and well dispersity attributed to the protection effect of glucose. Glucose absorbed on the particle surface was readily removed by water washing without leading to agglomeration of the Pt nanoparticles. The as-prepared Pt/C electrocatalysts showed improved mass activity for methanol electrooxidation compared to the catalyst prepared without glucose protection. The improved performance is attributed to the larger electrochemical active surface area thus increased active sites on the Pt/C elctrocatalysts prepared under the protection of glucose.

Abstract:

Carbon supported Pt(Pt/C) electrocatalysts were prepared with glucose as protection agent and NaBH4 as reductant. The Pt nanoparticles deposited on carbon support presented reduced size and well dispersity attributed to the protection effect of glucose. Glucose absorbed on the particle surface was readily removed by water washing without leading to agglomeration of the Pt nanoparticles. The as-prepared Pt/C electrocatalysts showed improved mass activity for methanol electrooxidation compared to the catalyst prepared without glucose protection. The improved performance is attributed to the larger electrochemical active surface area thus increased active sites on the Pt/C elctrocatalysts prepared under the protection of glucose.
