Composition-controlled synthesis of platinum and palladium nanoalloys as highly active electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(18)63020-7

Abstract

Abstract:

Platinum and palladium (PtPd) alloy nanoparticles (NPs) are excellent catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells. In this study, we developed PtPd alloy NPs through the co-reduction of K₂PtCl₄ and Na₂PdCl₄ in a polyol synthesis environment. During the reaction, the feed molar ratio of the two precursors was carried over to the final products, which have a narrow size distribution with a mean size of approximately 4 nm. The catalytic activity for methanol oxidation reactions possible depends closely on the composition of as-prepared PtPd alloy NPs, and the NPs with a Pt atomic percentage of approximately 75% result in higher activity and stability with a mass specific activity that is 7 times greater than that of commercial Pt/C catalysts. The results indicate that through composition control, PtPd alloy NPs can improve the effectiveness of catalytic performance.

Key words: Platinum and palladium alloy nanoparticles, Composition and size control, Methanol oxidation
