ABSTRACT
The design of porous noble metal catalysts holds great promise in various electrocatalytic applications. However, it is still a challenge to improve the durability performance through constructing stable framework. Here, an interface and charge induced strategy is developed to synthesize large-sized continuous reduced graphene oxide@mesoporous platinum (denoted as rGO@mPt) sheets under kinetic control by molecular self-assembly design. Graphene oxide (GO) is a promising large-sized growth interface for platinum. Cationic surfactant dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride bridges the negatively charged GO and platinum precursors, while creating interconnected mesopores. The successful synthesis of rGO@mPt sheets relies on proper kinetic control, which is achieved by controlling pH, temperature, and the complexation of bromide ions. rGO@mPt sheets present strong crystallinity with a pure face-centered cubic Pt phase. Worm-like mesostructures with an average pore size of 2.2 nm exist throughout the sheets. rGO@mPt sheets possess both stable framework and abundant active sites, which markedly improve the durability on methanol oxidation reaction while maintaining relatively good catalytic activity. Long-term stability test shows a slight loss of 1.2% activity after 250 cycles. Amperometric i-t curves reveal the mass current three times higher compared to commercial Pt/C at 3000 s.
