摘要: 采用沉积-还原法制备了PtRu-NdOx/C催化剂, 借助TEM、EDS和XRD等测试手段对其进行了微结构和组成的表征. 结果表明, 催化剂中Pt与Ru以合金形式存在, 而Nd的氧化物则以无定形形态存在. 催化剂粒子的平均粒径在2 nm左右, 晶胞参数为0.3896 nm, Nd氧化物的加入对PtRu合金的晶体结构影响不明显. 采用循环伏安法和计时电流法, 比较了PtRu-NdOx/C催化剂和PtRu /C催化剂对甲醇氧化的电催化活性, 结果表明, 加入Nd的氧化物作为助催化剂能明显提高PtRu /C催化剂对甲醇氧化的电催化性能.

Abstract: The PtRu-NdOx /C catalysts have been prepared by deposition-reduction method. EDX、XRD, and TEM measurements have been used to characterize the composition, particle size, and crystallinity of the catalysts. The catalyst materials consist of Pt-Ru alloy particles and varying amounts of Nd oxide. The average particle size and the lattice parameter of the catalysts are about 2 nm and 0.3896 nm, respectively, which indicates that Nd oxide in PtRu-NdOx /C has no effects on the crystal structure of the Pt-Ru alloy particles. The electrocatalytic activities of the PtRu-NdOx /C catalysts and PtRu/C catalysts have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometric measurements. Nd oxide can improve the degree of dispersion of the noble metals in the catalysts and as co-catalyst lead to an improvement of the catalytic activity towards methanol oxidation.
