开发高效、稳定的电催化剂是燃料电池走向实用的关键. 为了解决催化剂因尺寸效应引起的催化活性和稳定性之间的矛盾, 采用简便的一步溶剂热法设计合成了具有一维链状结构的Pt-Ni合金纳米颗粒催化剂. 链状Pt-Ni纳米颗粒由平均尺寸约为10 nm的纳米颗粒和直径约为3 nm, 长度为几百纳米的纳米线组装而成, 该结构具有零维纳米颗粒高的比表面积和一维纳米线高的结构稳定性优势, 可显著提高甲醇氧化反应的催化活性和稳定性, 其质量活性和比活性分别是商业Pt/C纳米催化剂的5.7倍和7.6倍. 经1000圈循环伏安测试后, 该纳米材料仍保留91.2%的比活性, 远高于商业Pt/C的4.4%. 制备的一维链状结构很好地解决了纳米颗粒催化剂在反应中的团聚问题, 为获得同时具有较高催化活性和稳定性的Pt基纳米催化剂提供了新的途径, 有望实现大范围工业化应用.

Fuel cells are one of the promising energy-conversion devices due to their high efficiency and zero emission. Despite tremendous research works in past decades, there remains a tough challenge in realizing the commercial applications of fuel cell technologies. Therefore, the development of highly efficient and stable fuel cell electrocatalyst is the top priority for practical fuel cells. As we all know, the small-size nanoparticles always have high specific surface area, which can provide more active sites to enhance the catalytic activity, while the one-dimensional nanowires usually own high structural stability. It may provide a possibility for the design of a novel bimetal Pt-based alloy nanostructure by combining the structural superiority of both, which can maintain the high stability and maximize the catalytic activity at the same time. Driven by these purposes, a novel nanostructure constructed by Pt-Ni alloy nanoparticles with a one-dimensional chain structure was designed to balance the contradiction between the activity and stability due to the size effects (the smaller the size, the higher the activity, and the worse the stability of the nanocatalyst; and vice versa). Here, a simple one-step solvothermal method has been adopted to produce the novel nanostructures constructed by the chain-like Pt-Ni nanoparticles (Pt-Ni CNPs) with Pt-rich crystal faces and alloy nature. The structure, component and catalysis were investigated by the combination of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoemission spectra, and electrochemical measurements. The results show that the as-synthesized Pt-Ni CNP is constructed from a nanowire (with a diameter of about 3 nm and a length of several hundred nanometers) and the nanoparticles (with an average diameter of about 10 nm). This nanostructure is cleverly integrated the structural advantages of one-dimensional nanowires and zero-dimensional nanoparticles, which can significantly enhance the catalytic activity and stability for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in acidic environment. Specially, the mass activity and specific activity of as-prepared Pt-Ni CNPs are 5.7 and 7.6 times higher than those of the commercial Pt/C, respectively. After 1000 cycles of cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement, Pt-Ni CNPs still retain 91.2% of the specific activity, while the commercial Pt/C undergoes a drastic loss of MOR activities, retaining only 4.4% of the initial activity. It is particularly noteworthy that this nanostructure of Pt-Ni CNP solves the problem of agglomeration of nanoparticle catalysts in the reaction, and provides a new approach to obtain Pt-based nanocatalysts with high catalytic activity and stability at the same time. Our finding will provide insight into more rational designs of Pt-based bimetallic nanocatalysts with one-dimensional architectures, which is expected to promote the further development and large-scale industrial application of the direct methanol fuel.-
