In this study, a hollow Pt/CP catalyst derived from ZIF-8 via a hydrothermal method was utilized for electrocatalytic methanol oxidation reaction, demonstrating superior activity and properties compared to Pt/CB catalyst.
In this work, the hollow Pt/CP (carbon polyhedron) catalyst derived from ZIF-8 was obtained via a simple hydrothermal method for electrocatalytic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Compared with Pt/CB (carbon black) catalyst, the hollow Pt/CP had the higher ESCA, which was 60 m(2) g(-1), while the Pt/CB was only 41 m(2) g(-1). Similarly, the I-f/I-b of the hollow Pt/CP was 7.5, which was also obviously about 3 times higher than the Pt/CB (2.5). All the results verified that the electrocatalytic oxidation activity of hollow Pt/CP was greatly better than Pt/CB. According to a series of characterizations, it can be discovered that the hollow Pt/CP catalyst derived from ZIF-8 had more rich oxygen-containing functional groups, smaller Pt nanoparticles size, more Pt content, larger specific surface area, and so on, which were good for the improvement of MOR activity.
