二维碳化钛/碳纳米管负载铂钌粒子的制备及电催化性能研究

直接甲醇燃料电池因操作方便、转化效率高、操作温度低、污染少以及液体燃料易存储易运输等优势具有良好的应用前景, 但现有阳极催化剂存在催化活性低、抗CO中毒性差等缺点, 制约了其商业化应用前景。本研究采用三步法制备得到了一系列不同Pt、Ru配比的PtRu/(Ti₃C₂T_x)_0.5-(MWCNTs)_0.5阳极催化剂材料, HF腐蚀Ti₃AlC₂得到Ti₃C₂T_x, 与酸化处理的多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)复合后通过溶剂热法负载Pt、Ru颗粒。通过XRD、SEM、EDS、TEM、XPS等分析铂钌的协同关系。结果表明: Ru原子与Pt原子晶格混合, 形成了粒径约3.6 nm的铂钌双金属合金。电化学分析结果表明: Pt₁Ru_0.5/(Ti₃C₂T_x)_0.5-(MWCNTs)_0.5催化剂具有最佳的电化学性能, 其电化学活性面积(Electrochemical Active Area, ECSA)为139.5 m ²/g, 正向峰电流密度为36.4 mA/cm ²。

PtRu Particles Supported on Two-dimensional Titanium Carbide/Carbon Nanotubes: Preparation and Electrocatalytic Properties

Direct methanol fuel cells have good application prospects due to their advantages of convenient operation, high conversion efficiency, low operating temperature, low pollution, and easy storage and easy transportation of liquid fuel. However, existing anode catalysts have shortcomings such as low catalytic activity and poor resistance to CO toxicity which restrict its commercial application. In this study, a series of PtRu/(Ti₃C₂T_x)_0.5-(MWCNTs)_0.5 anode catalyst materials with different Pt and Ru ratios were prepared by three-step method. Ti₃C₂T_x was obtained by HF corrosion of Ti₃AlC₂, and acidified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). After the compounding, Pt and Ru particles are supported by a solvothermal method. The synergistic relationship of Ru and Pt atoms was analyzed by XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, and XPS. The results show that the Ru atoms are mixed with the Pt atoms to form PtRu bimetallic alloy with a particle size of about 3.6 nm. The electrochemical results show that the Pt₁Ru_0.5/(Ti₃C₂T_x)_0.5-(MWCNTs)_0.5 catalyst has the best electrochemical performance. Its electrochemical active area (ECSA) is 139.5 m ²/g, and positive peak current density is 36.4 mA/cm ².
