Abstract Abstract PAGE PAGE IV Abstract The tungsten trioxide has been a promising carrier for fuel cell catalysts due to the special chemical and physical properties and high stability in acid solution. The Pt/WO3 catalyst exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic activity in the process of methanol, formic acid and other small organic molecules oxidation. However, the low specific surface area and electrical conductivity of WO3 blocking its application in direct methanol fuel cells. The methods increasing specific surface area and electrical conductivity were studed to improve the catalytic activity and reduce the cost of catalyst in this paper. Three kinds of tungsten trioxide with diffrernt morphology and struture were obtained visa spay drying method, Calcination method and the phase transformation route. And then load them with Platinum particles by using NaBH4 reducing method. The structure and morphology of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscope, transmission electron microscopy as well as energy disperse spectroscopy, and electrochemical method was used to test the electrocatalytic property of catalysts toward the methanol oxidation. The results obtained are as follows: Hollow mesoporous tungsten trioxide microsphere (HMTTS) was synthesized by spay drying method. The surface area of HMTTS is about 28 m2·g-1. And Pt/HMTTS were prepared by using NaBH4 reducing method. The characterizations show that the platinum particles with an average size of 5 nm, which successfully distributed on the surface of HMTTS. Cyclic voltammetry indicates that the mass specific current of Pt/HMTTS is 230 mA·mg-1Pt, which is higher than that of Pt/C (160 mA·mg-1Pt) and Pt/WO3 (80.7 mA·mg-1Pt). This result indicates that the electrocatalytic activity of platinum towards methanol oxidation has been improved by HMTTS; Line scan voltammetry indicate that The onset potential of Pt/HMTTS is lower than Pt/C and
