The Effects of 2nd Metals in Pt-based Electrocatalysts on Methanol Oxidation
Pt합금 촉매에서 메탄을 산화 반응에 미치는 제2금속의 영향
Abstract
The electrooxidation of methanol was studied using Pt, PtRu(1:1), PtNi(1:1), PtRh(1:1) and PtOs(1:1) alloy nanoparticles for application as electrocatalysts. The effects of the second metals in the electrocatalytic activity was investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). There are the metallic and oxygen states in the PtRu and PtOs electrocatalysts . In the XPS of PtRu and PtOs alloy nanoparticles, the oxygen sources were dominant as the second metal's effects. Negative shifts of the binding energies of Pt for the PtNi, PtRh alloy nanoparticles were determined by XPS measurements, which can be explained by electronic effects.
