Optimized Pt-based methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) anodes are essential for commercial direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) and methanol electrolyzers for hydrogen production. High surface area Ti supports are known to increase Pt catalytic activity and utilization. Pt has been deposited on black titania nanotubes (bTNTs), Ti felts and, for comparison, Ti foils by a galvanic deposition process, whereby Pt(IV) from a chloroplatinate solution is spontaneously reduced to metallic Pt (at 65 °C) onto chemically reduced (by CaH2) TNTs (resulting in bTNTs), chemically etched (HCl + NaF) Ti felts and grinded Ti foils. All Pt/Ti-based electrodes prepared by this method showed enhanced intrinsic catalytic activity towards MOR when compared to Pt and other Pt/Ti-based catalysts. The very high/high mass specific activity of Pt/bTNTs (ca 700 mA mgPt−1 at the voltammetric peak of 5 mV s−1 in 0.5 M MeOH) and of Pt/Ti-felt (ca 60 mA mgPt−1, accordingly) make these electrodes good candidates for MOR anodes and/or reactive Gas Diffusion Layer Electrodes (GDLEs) in DMFCs and/or methanol electrolysis cells. |
