摘要: 通过乙二醇液相分步还原法制备了金属质量分数为20%的PtSn/C二元及PtSnCo/C三元催化剂. 采用X射线衍射(XRD)光谱法、能量散射谱(EDS)对催化剂进行了表征; 通过阳极线性伏安扫描法(LSV)、连续循环伏安法(CV)、预吸附单层CO 溶出法研究了其电化学性质. 结果表明, PtSnCo/C 三元催化剂较商业化JM-PtRu/C 催化剂具有更好的氧化甲醇催化活性. 循环伏安扫描100 圈后发现, PtSn/C 二元催化剂的甲醇氧化峰电流快速衰减到其初始氧化峰电流的11%左右, 而PtSnCo/C 三元催化剂仅衰减到其初始值的50%左右,这表明PtSnCo/C 三元催化剂具有更好的化学稳定性. 在PtSnCo/C 催化剂上, 甲醇氧化起始电位比直接吸附CO后的CO阳极溶出电位负, 意味着甲醇在PtSnCo/C 催化剂上氧化的中间产物不是CO, 而是比CO更为活泼且易于氧化的中间物种.

Abstract: A binary metallic catalyst (PtSn/C) and a ternary metallic catalyst (PtSnCo/C) with a metal mass fraction of 20% were prepared by borohydride reduction and subsequent hydrothermal treatment in a glycol liquid phase. The structure and composition of the as-prepared electrocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS). Their activity and stability for the catalysis of methanol oxidation were evaluated by anodic linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and the anodic stripping of a pre-adsorbed CO monolayer. We found that the PtSnCo/C catalyst gave the best catalytic activity for the methanol oxidation of all the catalysts including the commercial JM-PtRu/C catalyst. After 100 cycles, the peak current of methanol oxidation for the PtSn/C catalyst rapidly decreased to 11% of its initial peak current but PtSnCo/C decreased to only 50%. This result suggests that the PtSnCo/C catalyst has better chemical stability for the catalysis of methanol oxidation compared to the PtSn/C catalyst. The more negative onset potential of methanol oxidation for the PtSnCo/C catalyst relative to pre-adsorbed CO oxidation implies that the intermediates of methanol oxidation on the PtSnCo/C catalyst may be ones, which can be more easily oxidized than CO, instead of CO.
