摘要
High cost and poor stability of catalysts remain major obstacles for the commercialization of direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs). In this work, a Pt9Rh/TiO2-C nanostructured catalyst is synthesized via an impregnation-reduction method followed by thermal annealing in N-2 at ambient pressure. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) are used to characterize the corresponding physico-chemical properties of the as-prepared catalysts. The results reveal that PtRh nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the TiO2-C hybrid support material. Cyclic voltammetry, linear scan voltammetry, CO-stripping voltammograms, chronoamperometry and chronopotentiometry methods are employed to investigate their catalytic performance for ethanol oxidation. The results show that the Pt9Rh/TiO2-C produced a current density of 1039.5 mA mg(Pt)(-1) which are 3.98, 8.31 and 2.43 times higher than Pt/TiO2-C, Pt/C and Pt9Rh/C, respectively. Furthermore, the Pt9Rh/TiO2-C also has greater resistance to CO-poisoning and displays better stability for ethanol oxidation than other catalysts. Pt9Rh/TiO2-C therefore provides a promising material for ethanol oxidation in direct ethanol fuel cells. (C) 2017 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
