제목 Pt nanowires prepared via a ploymer template method: its promise toward high Pt-loaded electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation
초록 Platinum nanowires were prepared via a template-synthesis method by electro-deposition of platinum within pores of a track-etched polycarbonate membrane, followed by chemical etching to separate the Pt nanowires from the polymer. The structure and morphology of the Pt nanowires were characterized by XRD and TEM, revealing a polycrystalline phase with nanowire dimension up to 6 μm long and ca. 30 nm of diameter. The unsupported Pt nanowires showed better electrochemical mass activities over the methanol electrooxidation than supported or unsupported Pt nanoparticles under the high Pt content loaded conditions that is typically required for direct methanol fuel cells. This enhancement could be rationalized by its unique physicochemical and electrical properties arising from the inherent anisotropic one-dimensional nanostructure, such as charge transfer facilitation by reducing number of particle interfaces and more efficient use of Pt by alleviating fraction of embedded catalysts.
