摘要
A novel nanostructured support of ZrO2/nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheets (ZrO2/NGNs) hybrid was synthesized successfully by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology to significantly improve the activity and stability of Pt electrocatalyst. Electrochemical test shows that Pt-ZrO2/NGNs catalyst has 2.1 times higher activity towards methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) than Pt/NGNs catalyst, due to the promotion by ZrO2 to the MOR on Pt surface. Pt-ZrO2/NGNs catalyst has higher electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and better oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity than Pt/NGNs catalyst. Pt-ZrO2/NGNs catalyst has also demonstrated 2.2 times higher durability than that of Pt/NGNs. The enhanced activity and durability were attributed to the unique triple-interaction of ZrO2-Pt-NGNs. These findings indicate that metal oxide-metal-support is a promising catalyst structure for low temperature fuel cells. Copyright (C) 2014, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
