Abstract:
For the most commonly applied platinum-based catalysts of direct methanol fuel cells, the adsorption ability toward reaction intermediates, including CO and OH, plays a vital role in their catalytic activity and antipoisoning in anodic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Herein, guided by a theoretical mechanism study, a favorable modulation of the electronic structure and intermediate adsorption energetics for Pt active sites is achieved by constructing the triple-phase interfacial structure between tin oxide (SnO2), platinum (Pt), and nitrogen-doped graphene (NG). From the strong electronic exchange at the triple-phase interface, the adsorption ability toward MOR reaction intermediates on Pt sites could be efficiently optimized, which not only inhibits the adsorption of CO* on active sites but also facilitates the adsorption of OH* to strip the poisoning species from the catalyst surface. Accordingly, the resulting catalyst delivers excellent catalytic activity and antipoisoning ability for MOR catalysis. The mass activity reaches 1098 mA mg-1Pt, 3.23 times of commercial Pt/C. Meanwhile, the initial potentials and main peak for CO oxidation are also located at a much lower potential (0.51 and 0.74 V) against commercial Pt/C (0.83 and 0.89 V). © 2024 American Chemical Society.
