摘要

The development of new electrocatalysts with low platinum (Pt) loading and high electrochemicalactivity is still a challenge for fuel cell technologies. In this work, novel electrocatalysts, Ptnanoparticles alloyed with tungsten carbide (WC) supported on nanocarbon materials(Pt/WCxanocarbon), were synthesized by a newly developed one-pot method for the methanoloxidation reaction (MOR) in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The so-called one-pot method hastwo key steps. First, Pt-containing ligands and W-containing ligands were self-assembled onnanocarbon materials, namely, carbon nanotubes or carbon black. Second, the products obtained fromthe first step were freeze-dried. The composition and structure of the Pt/WC x anocarbonelectrocatalysts were characterized by several testing means, such as X-ray diffraction, field emissionscanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectronspectroscopy. The results showed that Pt and WC were alloyed when their ratio was in an appropriaterange. The electrochemical performances for the MOR were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry andchronoamperometry in acid media. The results showed that the Pt/WC 0.15 /C electrocatalyst displayedthe highest electrocatalytic activity and the best stability for MOR. The enhancements inelectrochemical performance are attributed to the negative shift of the d-band centre of elemental Pt,which can weaken the adsorption strength towards CO molecules, facilitate the removal of the COgroups and improve MOR activity. The newly developed one-pot method has a great deal of potentialfor synthetizing Pt and carbide nanocomposite electrocatalysts and demonstrates a broad prospect inthe application of fuel cells.
