Abstract

Abstract:

A series of {Reduced graphene oxide/Polyoxometalates}_n({rGO/ POMs }_n) multilayer composite films was prepared by layer by layer assembly(LBL) combined with the light-assisted reduction in situ. The {rGO/ POMs }_n film was used as a carrier to support Pt nanoparticles electrodeposited by constant potential method to obtain a new type of fuel cell anode catalyst, namely Pt/{rGO/SiW₁₂}₆ multilayer composite film. The growth of the multilayer composite films and Pt nanoclusters' morphology were characterized by UV-visible absorption spectrum(UV-Vis), atomic force microscope(AFM) and scanning elecrton microscopy(SEM). The results indicate that the multilayer composite {rGO/ SiW₁₂}₆ is assembled on different substrate(quartz plate, indium tin oxide(ITO), and glass carbon electrode(GC)) surfaces with a continuous and uniform state, and the Pt nanoparticles on the surface exhibit a flower-like morphology. The electrochemical experiments show that Pt/{rGO/SiW₁₂}₆ catalyst exhibits better electrocatalytic activity, electrochemical stability and superior resistance to CO poisoning in the acidic methanol solution when it is compared with Pt/{rGO/PMo₁₂}₆, Pt/{rGO/PW₁₂}₆ and Pt. The Pt/{rGO/SiW₁₂}₆ multilayer composite film is expected to be the most promising methanol oxidation reaction catalyst in fuel cell anode.

Key words: methanol fuel cell, electrocatalytic oxidation, electrodeposition, graphene, polyoxometallate, platinum
