摘要

Pt/C and PtBi/C with different PtBi atomic ratio (90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50) were preparedby borohydride reduction method using H2PtCl66H2O and Bi(NO3)35H2O as metal sources andVulcan XC72 as carbon support. The electrocatalysts prepared were characterized by X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The activity for the formic acid electro- oxidation in acid and alkaline electrolyte was investigated at room temperature by cyclic voltammetryand chronoamperometry. X ray diffraction showed for all PtBi/C the presence of Pt face-centeredcubic (fcc) system, while for PtBi/C (70:30, 60:40 and 50:50) electrocatalyst it was also observed thepresence of some peaks that could be attributed to the presence of Bi metallic, Bi oxide species or PtBiphases. TEM micrographs and histograms for PtBi/C electrocatalysts showed that the nanoparticles arewell dispersed on the support with particle sizes of 2.51.5 nm for all electrocatalysts prepared,however some agglomerates were also observed. The electrochemical studies showed that PtBi/Co (90:10) had superior performance for formic acid electro-oxidation at 25 C in presence of acidicelectrolyte compared to Pt/C, this result indicated that the addition of Bi to Pt could favor the electro- oxidation of formic acid and this effect could be attributed to the bifunctional mechanism associated toelectronic effect. However in the alkaline electrolyte it was observed that Pt/C electrocatalysts hadsuperior performance in comparison with PtBi/C, this result indicated that an optimization of theformic acid concentration for alkaline studies is still necessary.
