Investigation of Activities for Pt-M Bimetallic Nanoparticles Catalysts on the Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Bi-metallic Pt3Ni/C and Pt3Co/C electrocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a solvent free chemical vapour deposition method with a narrow particle size distribution. The results showed that the electrochemical surface area was increased by adding the additional Ni or Co to a pure Pt catalyst. Pt3Ni/C catalyst exhibited a significant enhancement of oxygen reduction reaction activity. The catalysts were characterized by EDS, XRD, HRTEM and electrochemical activity was determined using cyclic voltammetry.
Function of titanium oxide coated on carbon nanotubes as support for platinum catalysts
This study describes the outcome of the synthesis of laboratory-made (HM) Pt monometallic, binary and ternary catalysts supported on TiO2/CNT (carbon nanotubes) and based on using the dry-mix method of organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD). These multicomponent catalysts were investigated and compared with commercial Johnson Matthey (JM) catalysts for electrochemical applications.
