Synergistic effect of bimetallic Pd-Pt nanocrystals for highly efficient methanol oxidation electrocatalysts.

Project description:Metal nanocrystals (NCs) with controlled compositional and distributional structures have gained increasing attention due to their unique properties and broad applications, particularly in fuel cell systems. However, despite the significant importance of composition in metal NCs and their electrocatalytic behavior, comprehensive investigations into the relationship between atomic distribution and electrocatalytic activity remain scarce. In this study, we present the development of four types of nanocubes with similar sizes and controlled compositions (Pd-Pt alloy, Pd@Pt core-shell, Pd, and Pt) to investigate their influence on electrocatalytic performance for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The electrocatalytic activity and stability of these nanocubes exhibited variations based on their compositional structures, potentially affecting the interaction between the surface-active sites of the nanocrystals and reactive molecules. As a result, leveraging the synergistic effect of their alloy nanostructure, the Pd-Pt alloy nanocubes exhibited exceptional performance in MOR, surpassing the catalytic activity of other nanocubes, including Pd@Pt core-shell nanocubes, monometallic Pd and Pt nanocubes, as well as commercial Pd/C and Pt/C catalysts.

Metal-organic framework-derived nanoflower and nanoflake metal oxides as electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation.

Project description:The energy crisis is the most urgent issue facing contemporary society and needs to be given top priority. As energy consumption rises, environmental pollution is becoming a serious issue. Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have emerged as the most promising energy source for a variety of applications such as electric vehicles and portable devices. Unfortunately, the kinetics of methanol oxidation is slow and needs an electrocatalyst to improve the reaction kinetics and the overall fuel cell efficiency. Herein, a straightforward hydrothermal procedure was utilized to prepare copper, nickel, and cobalt-based MOF composites by altering the elemental molar ratios. Cu-MOF (MOFP1), Cu/Ni-MOF (MOFP2), and Cu/Ni/Co-MOF (MOFP3) were prepared after carbonization and characterized using several key techniques such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX. The SEM analysis reveals that the morphology of MOFP1 is spherical aggregated particles, while that of MOFP2 or MOFP3 is in the form of nanoflakes and nanoflowers. Moreover, upon application of these composites as electrocatalysts for methanol electro-oxidation in an alkaline medium of 1 M NaOH using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) tests, the electrochemical performance of MOFP2 in 1 M methanol exhibits the best performance for methanol oxidation with a current density reaching 38.77 mA cm-2 at a scan rate of 60 mV s-1. This can be attributed to the unique porous open flower structure and the synergistic effect between copper, nickel, and 2-aminoterephthalic acid which develop its catalytic activity.

PdO@CoSe2 composites: efficient electrocatalysts for water oxidation in alkaline media.

Project description:In this study, we have prepared cobalt selenide (CoSe2) due to its useful aspects from a catalysis point of view such as abundant active sites from Se edges, and significant stability in alkaline conditions. CoSe2, however, has yet to prove its functionality, so we doped palladium oxide (PdO) onto CoSe2 nanostructures using ultraviolet (UV) light, resulting in an efficient and stable water oxidation composite. The crystal arrays, morphology, and chemical composition of the surface were studied using a variety of characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It was also demonstrated that the composite systems were heterogeneous in their morphology, undergoing a shift in their diffraction patterns, suffering from a variety of metal oxidation states and surface defects. The water oxidation was verified by a low overpotential of 260 mV at a current density of 20 mA cm-2 with a Tafel Slope value of 57 mV dec-1. The presence of multi metal oxidation states, rich surface edges of Se and favorable charge transport played a leading role towards water oxidation with a low energy demand. Furthermore, 48 h of durability is associated with the composite system. With the use of PdO and CoSe2, new, low efficiency, simple electrocatalysts for water catalysis have been developed, enabling the development of practical energy conversion and storage systems. This is an excellent alternative approach for fostering growth in the field.

Interfacial Electronic Modulation of Dual-Monodispersed Pt-Ni3S2 as Efficacious Bi-Functional Electrocatalysts for Concurrent H2 Evolution and Methanol Selective Oxidation.

Project description:Constructing the efficacious and applicable bi-functional electrocatalysts and establishing out the mechanisms of organic electro-oxidation by replacing anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are critical to the development of electrochemically-driven technologies for efficient hydrogen production and avoid CO2 emission. Herein, the hetero-nanocrystals between monodispersed Pt (~ 2 nm) and Ni3S2 (~ 9.6 nm) are constructed as active electrocatalysts through interfacial electronic modulation, which exhibit superior bi-functional activities for methanol selective oxidation and H2 generation. The experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the asymmetrical charge distribution at Pt-Ni3S2 could be modulated by the electronic interaction at the interface of dual-monodispersed heterojunctions, which thus promote the adsorption/desorption of the chemical intermediates at the interface. As a result, the selective conversion from CH3OH to formate is accomplished at very low potentials (1.45 V) to attain 100 mA cm-2 with high electronic utilization rate (~ 98%) and without CO2 emission. Meanwhile, the Pt-Ni3S2 can simultaneously exhibit a broad potential window with outstanding stability and large current densities for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the cathode. Further, the excellent bi-functional performance is also indicated in the coupled methanol oxidation reaction (MOR)//HER reactor by only requiring a cell voltage of 1.60 V to achieve a current density of 50 mA cm-2 with good reusability.

One-Step Synthesis of 3D Graphene Aerogel Supported Pt Nanoparticles as Highly Active Electrocatalysts for Methanol Oxidation Reaction.

Project description:Nowadays, two of the biggest obstacles restricting the further development of methanol fuel cells are excessive cost and insufficient catalytic activity of platinum-based catalysts. Herein, platinum nanoparticle supported graphene aerogel (Pt/3DGA) was successfully synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal self-assembly method. The loose three-dimensional structure of the aerogel is stabilized by a simple one-step method, which not only reduces cost compared to the freeze-drying technology, but also optimizes the loading method of nanoparticles. The prepared Pt/3DGA catalyst has a three-dimensional porous structure with a highly cross-linked, large specific surface area, even dispersion of Pt NPs and good electrical conductivity. It is worth noting that its catalytic activity is 438.4 mA/mg with long-term stability, which is consistent with the projected benefits of anodic catalytic systems in methanol fuel cells.. Our study provides an applicable method for synthesizing nano metal particles/graphene-based composites.

Pressure Tunable Electronic Bistability in Fe(II) Hofmann-like Two-Dimensional Coordination Polymer [Fe(Fpz)2Pt(CN)4]: A Comprehensive Experimental and Theoretical Study.

Project description:A comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of both thermal-induced spin transition (TIST) as a function of pressure and pressure-induced spin transition (PIST) at room temperature for the two-dimensional Hofmann-like SCO polymer [Fe(Fpz)2Pt(CN)4] is reported. The TIST studies at different fixed pressures have been carried out by magnetic susceptibility measurements, while PIST studies have been performed by means of powder X-ray diffraction, Raman, and visible spectroscopies. A combination of the theory of elastic interactions and numerical Monte Carlo simulations has been used for the analysis of the cooperative interactions in TIST and PIST studies. A complete (T, P) phase diagram for the compound [Fe(Fpz)2Pt(CN)4] has been constructed. The critical temperature of the spin transition follows a lineal dependence with pressure, meanwhile the hysteresis width shows a nonmonotonic behavior contrary to theoretical predictions. The analysis shows the exceptional role of the total entropy and phonon contribution in setting the temperature of the spin transition and the width of the hysteresis. The anomalous behavior of the thermal hysteresis width under pressure in [Fe(Fpz)2Pt(CN)4] is a direct consequence of a local distortion of the octahedral geometry of the Fe(II) centers for pressures higher than 0.4 GPa. Interestingly, there is not a coexistence of the high- and low-spin (HS and LS, respectively) phases in TIST experiments, while in PIST experiments, the coexistence of the HS and LS phases in the metastable region of the phase transition induced by pressure is observed for a first time in a first-order gradual spin transition with hysteresis.

CeO2-Supported TiO2-Pt Nanorod Composites as Efficient Catalysts for CO Oxidation.

Project description:Supported Pt-based catalysts have been identified as highly selective catalysts for CO oxidation, but their potential for applications has been hampered by the high cost and scarcity of Pt metals as well as aggregation problems at relatively high temperatures. In this work, nanorod structured (TiO2-Pt)/CeO2 catalysts with the addition of 0.3 at% Pt and different atomic ratios of Ti were prepared through a combined dealloying and calcination method. XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, and STEM measurements were used to confirm the phase composition, surface morphology, and structure of synthesized samples. After calcination treatment, Pt nanoparticles were semi-inlayed on the surface of the CeO2 nanorod, and TiO2 was highly dispersed into the catalyst system, resulting in the formation of (TiO2-Pt)/CeO2 with high specific surface area and large pore volume. The unique structure can provide more reaction path and active sites for catalytic CO oxidation, thus contributing to the generation of catalysts with high catalytic activity. The outstanding catalytic performance is ascribed to the stable structure and proper TiO2 doping as well as the combined effect of Pt, TiO2, and CeO2. The research results are of importance for further development of high catalytic performance nanoporous catalytic materials.

Enhanced Photoinduced Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Methanol Using Pt Nanoparticle-Decorated TiO2-Polyaniline Ternary Nanofibers.

Project description:Herein, perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid-doped polyaniline (PTP) nanofibers with/without photoreactive anatase TiO2 (TiO2-PTP and PTP, respectively) have been successively synthesized and subsequently decorated by Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) to prepare Pt-PTP and Pt-TiO2-PTP composites. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy confirms the presence of ∼3 nm spherical-shaped Pt NPs on both the composites along with TiO2 on Pt-TiO2-PTP. Pt loading on the composites is deliberately kept similar to compare the methanol electro-oxidation in the two composites. The Pt nanocomposites along with the precursor polyanilines are characterized by optical characterization, X-ray diffraction study, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The ternary composite-modified (Pt-TiO2-PTP) electrode demonstrates high electrocatalytic performance for methanol oxidation reaction in acid medium than Pt-PTP and Pt-TiO2. The higher electrochemical surface area (1.7 times), high forward/backward current ratio, and the higher CO tolerance ability for Pt-TiO2-PTP make it a superior catalyst for methanol oxidation reaction in the electrochemical process than Pt-PTP. Moreover, the catalytic activity of Pt-TiO2-PTP is further enhanced significantly with light irradiation. The cooperative effects of photo- and electrocatalysis on methanol oxidation reaction in Pt-TiO2-PTP enhance the methanol oxidation catalytic activity approximately 1.3 times higher in light illumination than in dark. Therefore, the present work will be proficient to get a light-assisted sustainable approach for developing the methanol oxidation reaction activity of Pt NP-containing catalysts in direct methanol fuel cells.

Pt2CeO2 Heterojunction Supported on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Robust Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Methanol.

Project description:Herein, we prepared Pt2CeO2 heterojunction nanocluster (HJNS) on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) which is a special class of ionic liquids. The catalyst was then heat-treated at 400 °C in N2 (refer to Pt2CeO2/CNTs-400). The Pt2CeO2/CNTs-400 catalyst showed remarkably improved electrocatalytic performance towards methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) (839.1 mA mgPt-1) compared to Pt2CeO2/CNTs-500 (620.3 mA mgPt-1), Pt2CeO2/CNTs-300 (459.2 mA mgPt-1), Pt2CeO2/CNTs (641.6 mAmg-1) (the catalyst which has not been heat-treated) and commercial Pt/C (229.9 mAmg-1). Additionally, the Pt2CeO2/CNTs-400 catalyst also showed better CO poisoning resistance (onset potential: 0.47 V) compared to Pt2CeO2/CNTs (0.56 V) and commercial Pt/C (0.58 V). The improved performance of Pt2CeO2/CNTs-400 catalyst is attributed to the addition of appropriate CeO2, which changed the electronic state around the Pt atoms, lowered the d-band of Pt atoms, formed more Ce-O-Pt bonds acting as new active sites, affected the adsorption of toxic intermediates and weakened the dissolution of Pt; on the other hand, with the assistance of thermal treatment at 400 °C, the obtained Pt2CeO2 HJNS expose more new active sites at the interface between Pt and CeO2 to enhance the electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) and the dehydrogenation process of MOR. Thirdly, DES is beneficial to the increase of the effective component Pt(0) in the carbonization process. The study shows a new way to construct high-performance Pt-CeO2 catalyst for the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC).

Electrocatalytic performance of NiNH2BDC MOF based composites with rGO for methanol oxidation reaction.

Project description:Present work comprehensively investigated the electrochemical response of Nickel-2 Aminoterephthalic acid Metal-Organic Framework (NiNH2BDC) and its reduced graphitic carbon (rGO) based hybrids for methanol (CH3OH) oxidation reaction (MOR) in an alkaline environment. In a thorough analysis of a solvothermally synthesized Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and its reduced graphitic carbon-based hybrids, functional groups detection was performed by FTIR, the morphological study by SEM, crystal structure analysis via XRD, and elemental analysis through XPS while electrochemical testing was accomplished by Chronoamperometry (CA), Cyclic Voltametric method (CV), Electrochemically Active Surface Area (EASA), Tafel slope (b), Electron Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Mass Activity, and roughness factor. Among all the fabricated composites, NiNH2BDC MOF/5 wt% rGO hybrid by possessing an auspicious current density (j) of 267.7 mA/cm2 at 0.699 V (vs Hg/HgO), a Tafel slope value of 60.8 mV dec-1, EASA value of 15.7 cm2, and by exhibiting resistance of 13.26 Ω in a 3 M CH3OH/1 M NaOH solution displays grander electrocatalytic activity as compared to state-of-the-art platinum-based electrocatalysts.
