Preparation of Pt–CeO2/MWNT nano-composites by reverse micellar method for methanol oxidation
Source abstract
Abstract
We report the preparation of Pt–CeO2 nanoparticles on the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by a reverse micellar method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis indicated that well-dispersed small Pt–CeO2 nanoparticles were formed on the MWCNTs. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of the Pt–CeO2 nanoparticles on the MWNTs. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) results demonstrated that the Pt–CeO2/MWNT exhibited a higher methanol oxidation than did the Pt/MWNT catalyst. The CO stripping test showed that CeO2 can make CO stripped at a lower potential, which is helpful for CO and methanol electro-oxidation.
