“…7) show characteristic hydrogen adsorption/desorption peaks in the potential range Table 2). Furthermore, an increase of the double layer region for Pt/CNFs is observed after 14 prolonged cycling, which may indicate corrosion accompanied by the formation of surface functional groups such as -OH and -COOH [62]. These results are in agreement with the change in size distribution of the Pt nanoparticles after cycling shown in Fig.…”

“…The most widely used method in the preparation of carbon fibres by electrospinning is by controlled thermal treatment of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospun fibres [12]. This type of carbon nanofibre (CNF) is finding use as catalyst support both for direct methanol fuel cell anodes, 3 where improved performance compared to commercial electrocatalysts has been reported [13,14], and in PEMFC [15,16].…”

Electrospun carbon and Nb-doped TiO2 nanofibres (CNFs, TNFs) have been investigated as electrocatalyst supports for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC).The optimal Nb doping amount has been identified for TNFs, and thermal treatment of titanium oxide fibres optimised to balance the surface area and electronic conductivity requirements. The most highly conducting material is characterised by a high concentration of surface Ti 3+ and Nb 4+ (and oxygen vacancies). Pt nanoparticles of average diameter of 2.3 nm were loaded onto 10 %at Nb doped-TiO2, retained as the best candidate for further electrochemical analysis, and on CNFs, using a microwave-assisted polyol method. Significantly higher electrochemically active surface area was retained after voltage cycling to 1.2 V for Pt supported on TNF (73 %) than on CNFs, where only 8% of the original ECSA was conserved after 1000 voltammetric cycles. The mass activity was also slightly higher for the titanium oxide based electrodes in the oxygen reduction reaction.

“…44 Apart from conventional acid treated CNFs, small molecule (1-Aminopyrene,1-AP) functionalized CNFs also shows the good property as support. 45 It was revealed that PtRu NPs could be better dispersed onto the surface of 1-AP functionalized CNFs, which causing the better catalytic activity in methanol oxidation. Recently, the novel hybrid structure of Pt/CNFs with Nafion@ was prepared by filtration.…”
