Abstract
Boosting the electrocatalytic property of catalyst by controlling the structure and composition is extremely important for fuel cells commercialization. We present herein a facile template-oriented strategy to controllably fabricate one-dimensional (1D) nitrogen-enriched hierarchical porous carbon nanowhisker (N-HPCN-T, T = 700, 800, and 900) through an efficient hollow TiO2 (H-TiO2) spheres nanothorns (H-TiO2/N-HPCN-T). This strategy not only effectively provides an interconnected 3D porous architecture (hollow micro/dual-meso-porous and 1D nanowhisker) but also significantly improves the specific surface area and electrical conductivity of TiO2 materials. The growth mechanism of polyaniline nanowhisker and the effect of experimental parameters have been systematically studied, and then a “template-oriented mechanism” for the nanowhisker growth is proposed. Pt nanoparticles are deposited on H-TiO2/N-HPCN-T supports using a microwave-assisted polyol process (Pt/H-TiO2@N-HPCN-T). Because of their unique st...
