RESUMO

The higher amount of Pt usage and its poisoning in methanol oxidation reaction in acidic media is a major setback for methanol fuel cells. Herein, a promising dual application high-performance electrocatalyst has been developed for hydrogen evolution and methanol oxidation. A low Pt-content nanoalloy co-doped with Cu, Mn, and P is synthesized using a modified solvothermal process. Initially, ultrasmall ≈2.9 nm PtCuMnP nanoalloy is prepared on N-doped graphene-oxide support and subsequently, it is characterized using several analytical techniques and examined through electrochemical tests. Electrochemical results show that PtCuMnP/N-rGO has a low overpotential of 6.5 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 0.3 m H2 SO4 and high mass activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction. For the methanol oxidation reaction, the PtCuMnP/N-rGO electrocatalyst exhibits robust performance. The mass activity of PtCuMnP/N-rGO is 6.790 mA mg-1 Pt , which is 7.43 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C (20% Pt). Moreover, in the chronoamperometry test, PtCuMnP/N-rGO shows exceptionally good stability and retains 72% of the initial current density even after 20,000 cycles. Furthermore, the PtCuMnP/N-rGO electrocatalyst exhibits outstanding performance for hydrogen evolution and methanol oxidation along with excellent anti-poisoning ability. Hence, the developed bifunctional electrocatalyst can be used efficiently for hydrogen evolution and methanol oxidation.

RESUMO

Cathode active materials and conductive additives for thermal batteries operating at high temperatures have attracted research interest, with a particular focus on compounds offering high thermal stability. Recently, FeF3 has been proposed as a candidate for high-voltage cathode materials; however, its commercialization is hindered by its low conductivity. In this study, conductive additives, such as Ni-coated carbon composites (multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and carbon black (CB)), were utilized to enhance the thermal stability and conductivity of FeF3. The incorporation of metal-carbon conductive additives in the FeF3 composite increased the thermal stability by more than 10 wt.% and ensured high capacity upon conductivity enhancement. The FeF3@Ni/MWCB 15 wt.% composite containing 30 wt.% Ni exhibited a discharge capacity of ∼86% of the theoretical capacity of 712 mAh/g. The use of Ni-coated carbon-based conductive additives will allow the application of FeF3 as an effective high-temperature cathode material for thermal batteries.
