Recent progress in Pt and Pd-based hybrid nanocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation
Literature Information
Although Pt and Pd nanocrystals are among the most popular candidates for anode catalysts in direct methanol fuel cells, their catalytic properties still need to be further improved in order to reduce the costs. In view of this, fabricating hybrid nanomaterials by integrating noble metal nanocrystals and other species turns out to be a powerful way to produce unprecedented catalysts which could combine the merits of different components and modulate the electronic states of Pt or Pd at the same time. In this review, we list recent studies in the construction of heterostructured hybrid nanocatalysts through introducing external components into the noble metal nanocrystals. The mentioned external components include heteroatom doped carbon nanomaterials, metal oxides and hydroxides, as well as transition metal carbides, nitrides, phosphides, and sulfides. The construction methodologies and functions that these introduced species played in the catalytic processes of methanol electrooxidation are discussed. The attempts to maximize the catalytically active interfaces and utilization efficiencies of noble metals are also presented. Finally, the conclusions and existing problems in relevant nanocatalysts are provided.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
