Abstract

Abstract:

A Pt/CNTs catalyst coated with N-doped carbon (xNC-Pt/CNTs) is synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and applied in methanol electrooxidation reaction. Pt nanoparticles and polyimide (PI) are sequentially deposited on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by ALD. After annealing at 600℃ in H₂ atmosphere, the PI is carbonized to produce porous N-doped carbon. Upon coating with a moderately thick layer of N-doped carbon, the optimized 50NC-Pt/CNTs show higher activity, better long-term stability, and improved CO resistance towards methanol electrooxidation compared with Pt/CNTs and commercial Pt/C (20 wt%). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization result indicates that the Pt-CO bond is weakened after N-doped carbon coating and CO adsorption on the Pt surface is weakened, leading to superior electrocatalytic performance.

Key words: Atomic layer deposition, Methanol electrooxidation, Platinum, Nitrogen-doped carbon
