Abstract
Three dimensional porous nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel (3D-NGA) was successfully fabricated via a combined hydrothermal self-assembly, thermal treatment and template-removing process. The as-synthesized Pt/3D-NGA catalysts exhibit an interconnected 3D porous structure, high N-doped level and uniform dispersion of Pt NPs. In studying the electrocatalytic performance of samples towards methanol electrooxidation, we found that Pt/3D-NGA hold a high electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) of 90.7m2g−1 and better catalytic activity as well as stability compared to Pt/G and Pt/3D-GA catalysts. Our studies provide a simple approach to synthesize 3D metal or metal oxide/graphene-based composites, holding great potential for fuel cell applications.
