It is of prime importance to develop anode electrocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) with good performance, which is critical for their commercial applications. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived carbon materials are extensively developed as supports of catalysts. Herein, Co embedded nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube hollow porous carbon (Co-NCNT-HPC) derived from MOFs have been fabricated, which were synthesized by pyrolyzing at an optimized temperature of 800 °C using ZIF-8@ZIF-67 as a precursor. The presence of ZIF-8@ZIF-67 ensures the doping of nitrogen and the large specific surface area of the support materials at high temperatures. A Pt/Co-NCNT-HPC800 sample, which was synthesized using Co-NCNT-HPC800 as a support, showed an enhanced mass activity of 416.2 mA mg−1Pt for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), and the onset potential of COad oxidation of 0.51 V, which shifted negatively about 0.13 V compared with Pt/C (20%). Moreover, the Pt/Co-NCNT-HPC800 sample exhibits high stability. This work provides a facile strategy for MOF-derived carbon materials to construct advanced electrocatalysts for MOR.

Abstract Monodispersed Pt nanoparticles supported on a TiO2 and nitrogen-doped carbon composite (TiO2/NDC) were successfully synthesized via an efficient in situ self-assembly strategy and microwave-assisted polyol process. The Pt/TiO2/NDC catalyst exhibited superior electrocatalytic activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The electrochemically active surface area of the Pt/TiO2/NDC catalyst was twofold higher than that of the Pt/C/NDC catalyst. In addition, the Pt/TiO2/NDC catalyst revealed a better electrocatalytic activity and CO-tolerance as well as a stability toward the MOR. The combined characterization from Fourier transform infrared spectrum, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer, thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emissions spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses demonstrated that the superior catalytic performance and stability of the Pt/TiO2/NDC catalysts likely arose from the synergistic effect of their unique morphology and composition as well as the electronic effect between the TiO2/NDC and Pt. This electrocatalyst holds great promise for application in direct methanol fuel cells.
