Highly active Pd nanocatalysts on TM@TMxOy (TM = Mn, Ni, Co) modified rGO via glucose as a reductant for methanol oxidation
Source abstract
Abstract
In this work, glucose acted as green and mild reductant, transition metal ions (Mn2+, Ni2+, Co2+) are controllably reduced via hydrothermal reduction and pyrolysis. Composite particles composed of transition metals and their oxides (TM@TMxOy) are effectively modified on the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in the above process. Glucose can be effectively utilized to control the reduction of different transition metal ions so as to obtain the optimal TM@TMxOy-rGO support. It is very advantageous for uniformly loading the small-sized palladium nanoparticles (NPs) and enhancing the electrocatalytic performance. The results indicate that Pd/Mn@Mn3O4-rGO catalyst achieves the highest catalytic activity, which is 6.28 times as the commercial Pd/C catalyst (JM). It could be due to well-dispersed Pd NPs with small size (~ 2.53 nm) and support-metal synergistic interaction (SMSI) between TM@TMxOy-rGO support and Pd NPs. It is very potential for Pd/Mn@Mn3O4-rGO catalyst to improve electrocatalytic performance of direct methanol fuel cells in the future.
