Graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes supported Pt nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by wet chemical reduction method. The structures and methanol oxidation performance of the two catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (Raman) and electrochemical workstation. The results show that graphene oxide supported Pt nanoparticles exhibits higher electrochemical active surface area, methanol oxidation activity and stability compared with carbon nanotubes. It is proposed that the well dispersed Pt on the graphene oxide plays an important role for the excellent performancefor methanol oxidation.

AbstractThe direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a promising power source for electronic applications due to its high efficiency and compactness. To improve the efficiency, many support materials have been developed. We investigated uniform graphene nanoflake films as a support for catalytic Pt nanoparticles in direct carbon monooxide and formic acid electro-oxidation. Pt nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of graphene films with chemical reduction method. Chemical functionalization of graphene with ethylenediamine enables Pt nanoparticles mobilize on graphene uniformly. By simply changing the loading amount of Pt precursor, various particle sizes were achieved. The particle size of Pt plays prominent role in fuel cell test. The electrochemically active surface area of different sample are 6.3 (5 wt% Pt/G), 4.1 (20 wt% Pt/G), and 3.0 (50 wt% Pt/G) cm2mg-1 corresponding to the particle size 3±1nm, 10±2nm, 20±2nm respectively. The results obtained are ascribed to a uniform network made of 2-4 nm Pt monolayer nanopaticles on the surface of graphene flakes. Graphene will play significant role in developing next-generation advanced Pt based fuel cells and their relevant electrodes in the field of energy.

Abstract The Pt–Fe2O3 nanoparticles embedded over N, P-doped carbon (Pt–Fe2O3/NPC) was successfully synthesized by chemical reduction method demonstrating an enhanced electrocatalytic efficacy in alkaline media toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The surface morphology of Pt–Fe2O3/NPC has been characterized by electron microscopy scanning, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy transmission, Raman spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The ORR electrocatalytic activity of Pt–Fe2O3/NPC was found to be the superior mass activity of 0.120 mA µg−1, which are almost twice higher than those for Pt–Fe2O3/VC (0.068 mA µg−1) and Pt/C (0.061 mA µg−1) catalysts. The durability tests revealed that the Pt–Fe2O3/NPC exhibited enhanced stability observed from the order of electrochemical active surface area (ECA) loss determined as Pt–Fe2O3/NPC (45.67%) <Pt–Fe2O3/VC (62.5%) <(Pt/C (72.13%) after 5000 cycles. This present investigation unveiled a facile approach to develop the number of active sites with the combination between P–Fe2O3 and N, P-doped carbon for improved electrocatalytic performance toward ORR.
