New Synthesis of Pt-Ru Nanoparticles on Surface Modified Carbon Vulcane XC-72 as an Effective Catalyst for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

1 Results Pt-Ru nanoparticles are synthesised on the surface oxidized carbon Vulcane XC-72 as catalyst support by chemically anchoring Pt and Ru onto the surface of modified carbon vulcane XC-72 (by refluxing in 70% HNO3 at 120 ℃ for 12 h to introduce surface functional groups) .The nanoparticles of Pt and Ru are synthesized by reduction of H2PtCl6 and K4Ru(CN)6 with sodium borohydride in a 5.5 buffer solution of sodium citrate,the complexation of citrate with metal ions is beneficial to the formati...

Platinium Nanoparticles Deposited on Oxygen-Containing Functional Groups at Carbon Vulcane XC-72 as a Cathode Catalyst for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

1 Results Surface oxidized carbon vulcane XC-72 as catalyst support, prepared by chemically anchoring Pt onto the surface modified carbon vulcane XC-72. The nanoparticles of Pt are synthesized by reduction of H2PtCl6 with sodium borohydride in a 5.5 buffer solution of sodium citrate, the complexation of citrate with metal ions is beneficial to the formation of nanoparticles. For comparison, an electrode is prepared by E-Tek Pt/C 20 Wt% with a typical Pt loading of 50 μg·cm-2, that shows higher specifi...

表面改性炭材料在微生物燃料电池中的应用(英)

研究了在空气阴极微生物燃料电池中修饰方法如硝酸处理和硝酸-氨水酸碱等对XC-72R作为阴极氧还原催化剂催化活性的影响,并且使用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、Boehm滴定法和X射线光电子能谱(谱(XPS)等手段对催化剂进行了表征.FTIR测试证明硝酸处理可引入含氧基团氨水处理可引入含氮基团.另外,还测试了含有不同表面官能团的XC-72R对氧还原的活性,并将其作为阴极催化剂用在MFC中,测试了电池性能.实验表明,经酸碱修饰的XC-72R作为空气阴极MFC的催化剂具有很好的应用前景.
