A convenient low-temperature approach was reported to fabricate well-dispersed Rh nanocrystals on Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets. The ultrathin lamellar MXene structure provides efficient anchoring sites and enables direct electronic interaction, resulting in superior electrocatalytic properties.
Since conventional Pt/carbon catalysts usually suffer from CO poisoning as well as carbon corrosion issues during the methanol oxidation reaction, it is essential to explore high-efficiency Pt-alternative electrocatalysts supported by a robust matrix in the direct methanol fuel cells. Herein, we report a convenient low-temperature approach to the controllable fabrication of well-dispersive Rh nanocrystals in situ grown on Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets. The ultrathin lamellar MXene structure reveals unique superiorities on the construction of advanced Rh-based hybrid catalysts, which can not only provide a large number of efficient anchoring sites for immobilizing small-sized Rh nanocrystals with abundant exposed catalytic crystal planes, but also enable direct electronic interaction with Rh for strong synergistic effects and facilitate the fast charge transportation during the catalytic process. As a consequence, the resulting Rh/Ti3C2Tx hybrid exhibits prominent electrocatalytic properties towards methanol oxidation reaction, such as a large electrochemical active surface area of 71.6 m(2) g(-1), a high mass activity of 600.2 mA mg(-1), and good long-term stability, all of which are much better than those of conventional carbon supported Rh as well as Pt/C and Pd/C catalysts.
