Abstract
Development of strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) and its influence on the catalytic performance of the Pt/Ti0.8Mo0.2O2-C system, a representative of the mixed oxide-carbon composite supported Pt electrocatalyst family, were investigated. Structural, surface chemical and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared Pt/Ti0.8Mo0.2O2-C catalyst and its counterparts reduced in the 150–450 °C temperature range were compared. TEM elemental mapping confirmed the widespread formation of Pt-oxide-C triple junctions in all catalysts. XPS revealed electronic interaction between the Pt particles and the oxide both in the as-prepared and the reduced catalysts, moreover, demonstrated that transport of Mo to the surface of Pt is initiated by reduction in the 150–250 °C range. Electrochemical measurements pointed out the durability of these Pt-bound Mo species, which also enhance the oxygen reduction activity of the catalyst. Based on the results of 10,000-cycle stability tests, reductive pretreatment between 250–350 °C is recommended for enhancing the properties of Pt/Ti0.8Mo0.2O2-C catalysts by SMSI.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
