Abstract:
In the present work, Pd-Pt nanoparticle/polyaniline/carbon nanotube (NP/PANI/CNT) composites, synthesized through the uniform distribution of Pd-Pt NPs, whose single size was controlled to 2-4 nm by citric acid, on a PANI/CNT compound, served as the electrode catalysts for effective methanol oxidation. The structural characteristics were identified by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, and revealed that the Pt65Pd35 NP/PANI/CNT composite displayed superior electrocatalytic oxidation performance and vitality in various Pd-Pt NPs. The results indicated that as an excellent anode catalyst the complex would have application prospects for effective methanol oxidation.
