Nanoparticulate TiO2-promoted PtRu/C catalyst for methanol oxidation

Abstract: To improve the electrocatalytic properties of PtRu/C in methanol electrooxidation, nanoparticulate TiO 2 -promoted PtRu/C catalysts were prepared by directly mixing TiO 2 nanoparticles with PtRu/C. Using cyclic voltammetry, it was found that the addition of 10 wt% TiO 2 nanoparticles can effectively improve the electrocatalytic activity and stability of the catalyst during methanol electro-oxidation. The value of the apparent activation energy (E a ) for TiO 2 -PtRu/C was lower than that for pure PtRu/C at a p… Show more

“…This can be associated with the improved electrocatalytic properties of PteRu/CeTiO 2 anode electrocatalyst containing 5 wt.% of commercial TiO 2 ; hence, TiO 2 nanoparticles facilitates the conversion of CO into CO 2 . As previously mentioned in Section Effect of weight ratio of TiO 2 , this facilitation in the conversion of CO into CO 2 mitigates the electrocatalyst poisoning phenomenon and improves the stability of the anode electrocatalyst towards the MOR [36] excessive amount of TiO 2 might also obstruct the adsorption of CH 3 OH, leading to a significant drop in the power density.…”

“…The decrease in the performances could be associated with the fact that excessive amount of TiO 2 may prevent the transportation of the electrons to the PteRu anode electrocatalyst by creating an additional barrier between the electrons and PteRu. As previously mentioned, the additional OH species, which are originated from the presence of TiO 2 , may also obstruct the adsorption of CH 3 OH by occupying the active areas [36].…”

“…Fig. 2d shows the linear sweep voltammograms (LSV) curves in 0.1 M KOH þ 0.5 M EG at a scan rate of 1 mV s À1 , which is close to a steady-state polarization curve of the EGOR and reflects kinetic processes in some degree [29]. In low potentials (<À0.3 V), the current of all catalysts increases slowly with the increase of polarization potential.…”
