Abstract

The purpose of this work is study to correlation between structure, electrochemically active surface area and activity in the oxygen reduction reaction and methanol electrooxydation of obtained by wet-synthesis PtM/C (M = Ni, Co, Cu) materials with atomic ratio Pt-M 1:1 and a commercial Pt/C material E-TEK 20.

Bimetallic PtM/C electrocatalysts were obtained by chemical reduction of metals from their compounds a carbon (Vulcan XC-72, Cabot) suspension based on two-component water-organic solvent at pH = 10 (excess of NH3). The characterization of PtM/C materials was performed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cycle voltammetry (CV).

The average crystallite size according XRD for the received materials have from 1.7 to 2.5 nm and a platinum content of materials is 20 – 27% by weight. It was found that PtM/C catalysts have a smaller value of surface area - 40 m2/g (Pt) as compared with Pt/C catalyst - 100 m2/g(Pt). But despite this fact mass-activity (activity per mass of platinum, A/g(Pt)) in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) PtCu/C catalyst have not inferior to commercial Pt/C material. All of PtM/C materials demonstrated a high specific activity (activity per real surface area, mA/cm2) in the reaction of methanol oxidation (MOR) and a high tolerance for intermediate of methanol oxidation.

It was found that the alloying of various d-metals can have a positive effect on the activity in the reaction of oxygen electroreduction, methanol electrooxydation and a high tolerance for intermediate of methanol oxidation. However, for increase of the mass-activity it necessary to obtain of PtM/C catalysts with higher surface area.
