Abstract
Pt-based catalysts with core@shell structures are widely used in alcohol oxidations due to their excellent catalytic performance. In this work, we synthesized a series of core@shell PtAuAg@PtAg hollow nanodendrites (HNDs) with different compositions by a simple seed-mediated method. The PtAuAg@PtAg HNDs with a hollow core and dendritic shell exhibit excellent catalytic performance for ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Among these, Pt38Au29Ag33 HNDs have the highest mass activity (12364.0 mA mgPt-1/3278.0 mA mgPt-1) for EGOR and MOR, which is 4.2 times and 5.3 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C (2941.0 mA mgPt-1/617.6 mA mgPt-1), respectively. More importantly, after successive cyclic voltammetry tests, the retained mass activities of Pt38Au29Ag33 HNDs are 3913.8 mA mgPt-1 and 348.3 mA mgPt-1, which are much higher than that of commercial Pt/C as well. The excellent catalytic performance of PtAuAg@PtAg HNDs can be attributed to the structure of HNDs, which can greatly increase the surface area and active sites, as well as the electronic and synergistic effects among Pt, Au, and Ag. This research may provide new ideas for the development of high-efficiency hollow catalytic materials for EGOR and MOR.
