Pt-based electrocatalysts are usually used in several catalytic reactions. However, its high cost, scarcity, and susceptibility towards poisonous intermediate species highly limit these catalysts' large-scale applications. Downsizing catalysts to single-atom scale (SAC) have fascinated extensive research interests due to their higher activity, selectivity, and stability. Herein, we prepared highly active, selective, and poisoning-tolerant PtSACs on Ni-doped TiO2support (PtSAC-Ni0.1Ti0.9O2). Ni in the catalyst creates a suitable environment to adsorb more OH−and make Pt accessible and ready for further oxidations. Thus, it exhibits higher electrocatalytic performance towards EGO than PtSAC-TiO2does. It is also by far better than PtNP– Ni0.1Ti0.9O2. The higher catalytic performance by PtSAC-Ni0.1Ti0.9O2is due to the synergistic effects of Ni and Pt. The catalyst selectively produces glycolate, formate, and hydrogen. Glycolate and formate are high-value chemicals for domestic uses or as inputs for industries to produce other chemicals. The catalyst also shows excellent Faradaic efficiency (>98 %) and stability towards EGO in alkaline media. The strong metal-support interactions between the catalyst and the support retard the agglomeration of the single atoms, thereby increasing their stability. |
