Platinum doped titanium dioxide nanocomposite an efficient platform as anode material for methanol oxidation

TiO2@Pt nanocomposite was synthesized using a simple one-step coprecipitation method as an electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation. Pt nanoparticles were supported by using TiO2 as a support material, thereby providing strong metal-support interactions. The TiO2@Pt nanocomposite characterized by Fiel...

Platinum doped titanium dioxide nanocomposite an efficient platform as anode material for methanol oxidation
description TiO2@Pt nanocomposite was synthesized using a simple one-step coprecipitation method as an electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation. Pt nanoparticles were supported by using TiO2 as a support material, thereby providing strong metal-support interactions. The TiO2@Pt nanocomposite characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) revealed the spherical shape of TiO2 crystalline matrix with finely dispersed Pt nanoparticles. In the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the diffraction peaks observed for the TiO2 and TiO2@Pt nanocomposites were composed of mixed phases of anatase and rutile. Electrochemical performances are evaluated in an aqueous 0.1 M KOH electrolyte and 0.1 M CH3OH as a target analyte. The Pt@TiO2 nanocomposite showed high electrocatalytic activity towards methanol oxidation, the results indicated that the bare Pt electrode has catalyzed the oxidation of methanol with a strongly weak oxidation peak (J 1/4 0.25 mA/cm(2)), while TiO2 modified Pt electrode which showed higher catalytic activity towards methanol oxidation with a current density of 0.48 mA/cm(2).
