TiO₂ Nanotube Film as the Support of Platinum Electro-Catalyst with Enhanced Electrochemical Activity for Methanol Oxidation

Abstract:

A facile method to prepare well-dispersed Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) on FTO and TiO₂ nanotube (TNTs) film was reported. The so-prepared Pt/FTO and Pt/TNT film electrodes are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show Pt NPs have been dispersed on the supporting matrixs uniformly. Electrochemical investigations indicate that Pt/TNT has higher electrocatalytic activity and better tolerance to poisoning species in methanol oxidation than Pt/FTO, which can be ascribed to the high dispersion of Pt NPs on the TiO₂ nanotubes surface. The present method is promising for the design of high performance catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells.
