Abstract：

Bottlenecks　in　direct　methanol　fuel　cells　(DMFCs)　with　conventional　noble　metals　as　anode　catalysts　involve　the　formation　of　valueless　byproducts　and　carbon　dioxide　(CO2)　emissions.　Carbon-supported　Pt　single　atoms　have　demonstrated　high　performance　in　DMFCs.　However,　the　adsorbed　intermediates　(COads)　strongly　bind　to　Pt　single-atom　sites,　resulting　in　complete　methanol　oxidation　to　CO2　and　low　power　densities.　Herein,　we　have　developed　a　DMFC　for　CO2-emission-free　coproduction　of　electricity　and　valuable　formate　using　metal　organic　framework　(MOF)-derived　N-doped　porous　carbon-supported　PtRu　single-atom　(referred　to　as　PtRuSA/NPC)　catalysts.　The　DMFC　produces　current　and　power　densities　of　657　mA　cm-2　and　97.4　mW　cm-2,　respectively,　at　a　potential　of　0.65　V　with　a　98.4%　Faraday　efficiency　for　formate　at　80　°C.　Density　functional　theory　(DFT)　calculations　show　that　CH3OH　molecules　preferentially　adsorb　onto　the　PtRu　single　atoms,　but　their　oxidation　to　CO2　molecules　on　PtRuSA/NPC　is　kinetically　unfavorable　due　to　the　large　energy　barrier.　This　study　offers　a　pathway　to　developing　high-performance　and　CO2-emission-free　electrocatalysts　for　DMFCs.　©　2024　American　Chemical　Society.
