Graphene-supported Pt and PtPd nanorods with enhanced electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen reduction reaction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The combinational modification of the morphology, alloying, and support for Pt catalysts has been optimized towards the oxygen reduction reaction. Graphene-supported PtPd nanorods have lower unfilled Pt d-states than carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/C) and their specific and mass activities after the accelerated durability test are about 6.5 and 2.7 times higher than those of Pt/C, attributed to the synergistic electronic modification effect and graphene-metal interaction.

The electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on carbon supportedPt-V (1:1) catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) was investigated. Atan oxygen pressure of one atm an enhanced electrocatalytic property of Pt-V/Ccompared with Pt/C is revealed.

متن کاملGraphene nanosheet-tailored PtPd concave nanocubes with enhanced electrocatalytic activity and durability for methanol oxidation.
Here, we demonstrate that graphene oxide (GO) can act as a structure-directing agent for the formation of PtPd alloy concave nanocubes enclosed by high index facets. In the presence of GO, PtPd alloy concave nanocubes could be easily tailored by a simple hydrothermal reaction. In sharp contrast, only cubic PtPd alloy nanocrystals were obtained in the absence of GO. Moreover, compared to the uns...
