摘要
Mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon (MNC) with a high surface area has been synthesized via carbonizing polyaniline using silica nanoparticles as template. The more silica nanoparticles, the smaller the micropore surface area is and the larger the mesoporous surface area is. Moreover, with an increase in the amount of silica nanoparticles, the electrocatalytic activity of Pt/MNC catalysts shows a downward trend after an intimal increase, and the Pt/MNC-1/6 (with the weight ratio of aniline monomer to silica nanoparticles of 1/6) catalyst has the highest activity, ascribed to the optimal Pt nanoparticles size, which is closely related to the pore structure of the support. In addition, the electrocatalytic activity and stability of Pt/MNC-1/6 catalyst are significantly superior to that of Pt/nitrogen-doped carbon (Pt/CNx) catalyst. For the same electrocatalytic activity, the Pt loading of Pt/MNC-1/6 catalyst is reduced by 33.3% compared to the Pt/CNx catalyst. The high electrocatalytic activity originates from the introduction of mesoporous structures that can facilitate mass transfer and improve the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles. Furthermore, the Ostwald ripening behavior of Pt nanoparticles is limited in the mesoporous structure of MNC-1/6, which weakens the aggregation effect of Pt nanoparticles during the electrocatalytic processes, thus enhancing the electrocatalytic stability of the catalyst.
