摘要:

采用多元醇法制备了不同原子比例和载量的PtSnRu/C催化剂,利用透射电镜和X射线光电子能谱表征了所制备催化剂的物化性能,采用直接乙醇燃料电池(DEFC)单池性能测试了其电化学性能,并利用电化学原位光谱、气相色谱和中和滴定分析了乙醇电氧化过程和产物. DEFC单电池测试表明Pt2.6Sn1Ru0.4/C催化剂具有较高的电池性能,其中,以60 wt% Pt2.6Sn1Ru0.4/C催化剂为阳极的DEFC性能最高,90 ℃下最高功率密度为121 mW/cm2. 电化学原位红外光谱和阳极产物分析表明乙酸、乙醛、乙酸乙酯和CO2是乙醇电化学氧化产物,Pt2.6Sn1Ru0.4/C催化剂上乙醇的氧化效率较高. 阳极乙醇氧化活化能和催化剂表面组成分析结果表明,表面组成的相互作用使Pt2.6Sn1Ru0.4/C催化剂具有较低的乙醇氧化活化能和较高的乙醇氧化活性.

Abstract:

PtSnRu/C catalysts with different atomic ratios and metal loadings were prepared using a polyol process to improve the performance of direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs). The catalysts were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The DEFC performance was evaluated using a single-cell test. The ethanol electro-oxidation process and anode products were analyzed using in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS), gas chromatography, and neutralization titration. The performance of the Pt2.6Sn1Ru0.4/C catalyst was better than those of the Pt3Sn1/C and Pt2Sn1Ru1/C catalysts. The carbon-supported Pt2.6Sn1Ru0.4 catalyst with a 60 wt% metal loading gave a maximum power density of 121 mW/cm2 at 90 ℃. In situ FTIRS and anode product analysis indicated that ethanol was electro-oxidized to acetaldehyde, acetic acid, ethyl acetate, and CO2. The ethanol oxidation efficiency on the Pt2.6Sn1Ru0.4/C catalyst was higher than that on the Pt3Sn1/C catalyst. The activation energy of ethanol electro-oxidation at the anode and surface composition analysis indicated that interactions among the surface elements resulted in a lower apparent activation energy and greater ethanol electro-oxidation efficiency on the Pt2.6Sn1Ru0.4/C catalyst.
