Abstract

A new synthesis method for the preparation of high performance PtRu electrocatalysts on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is reported. In this method, bimetallic Pt-Ru electrocatalysts are deposited onto 1-aminopyrene (1-AP)-functionalized MWCNTs by a microwave-assisted polyol process. The non-covalent functionalization of MWCNTs by 1-AP is simple and can be carried out at room temperature without the use of expensive chemicals or corrosive acids, thus preserving the integrity and the electronic structure of MWCNTs. PtRu electrocatalysts on 1-AP functionalized MWCNTs show much better distribution with no formation of aggregates, higher electrochemically active surface area and higher electrocatalytic activity for the electrooxidation of methanol in direct methanol fuel cells as compared to that on conventional acid treated MWCNTs and carbon black supported PtRu electrocatalysts. © The Electrochemical Society.
