Synthesis and Characterization of a polymeric Pt-based Catalyst for electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol

In this study, the Platinum nanoparticles dispersed on a poly[۴-methyl- ۱,۲-diaminobenzene/ multi-walled carbon nanotube] substrate (Pt@p-MDAB/MWCNT) are employed for the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol. The distribution of Pt nanoparticles without an agglomeration is confirmed by morphological studies. The fast kinetics (Eonset = ۰.۴۴ V), high CO tolerance (jf/jb = ۸.۵۳), and excellent durability of Pt@p-MDAB/MWCNT along with the simple, facile, and cost-effective synthesis manner propose Pt@p-MDAB/MWCNT as a superb anode for electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol.
