摘要

For direct dimethyl ether fuel cells (DDFCs), the anti-poisoning ability of anodic Pt toward reaction intermediates plays a key role in electrocatalytic performance of direct dimethyl ether (DME) oxidation reaction (DOR). Here, we report a novel triple-phase Pt/SnO2-porous carbon (PC) catalyst constructed through accurately controlled Pt deposition on a core–shell SnO2-PC support. By reducing oxygen functional groups on the PC surface, Pt nanoparticles are preferentially anchored at SnO2-PC interfacial boundaries rather than on the carbon surface, creating abundant triple-phase interfaces (Pt/SnO2-PC) for DOR. The triple-phase interface structure of Pt/SnO2-PC can effectively anchor the Pt nanoparticles, ensuring both their uniform dispersion and maintaining excellent electronic conductivity. The mass activity (MA) of the Pt/SnO2-PC reaches 236.4 mA· mgpt−1, which is 2.2 times of Pt/C. The accelerated potential cycling tests (APCT) after 5000 cycles reveal that the electrochemically active surface area (ESA) of Pt/SnO2-PC decreases only 36.82% less than Pt/C (60.40%). This study presents a new light on tuning Pt location and constructing triple-phase interface structure of Pt-based catalyst, which can enhance the electrocatalytic performance of DOR.
