Abstract
A general approach is reported for ultra-fast phosphating synthesis of a series of ultra-small (<5 nm) noble metal phosphides (MPX/CNT, M = Pd, Pt, Ru) which are successfully produced in just 75 s for the first time. The catalytic performance of the catalysts can be optimized by controlling the nanomaterials as the metastable crystalline phases. By altering the phosphorus source under the same conditions, the hexagonal structured Pd7P3 (NaH2PO2·H2O as P source) and monoclinic structured Pd6P (Na4P2O7 as P source) can be prepared successfully. Both of them exhibit excellent polyol oxidation performance in alkaline media. Monoclinic Pd6P/CNT and hexagonal Pd7P3/CNT have large ECSA which are confirmed as 82.1 m2 g−1 and 86.2 m2 g−1, respectively. Hexagonal Pd7P3/CNT has the highest mass activity of 6.14 A mgPd−1 (3.21 A mgPd−1 for Pd6P/CNT) for GOR, which far exceeded Pt/C (2.81 A mgPt−1). Meanwhile, the mass activity of monoclinic Pt5P2/CNT for EGOR achieved 12.4 A mgPt−1, which far exceeded Pt/C (6.8 A mgPt−1). The stability test proved that the activity decay of these catalysts was negligible after the 12-hour durability test. Meanwhile, they have excellent CO anti-poisoning abilities.
