Abstract

The high cost, CO poisoning, and slow electro-oxidation kinetics of Pt-based noble metal catalysts limit the merchandizing of direct methanol fuel cell. Here, metal zeolite imidazole frameworks composites are used to acquire a small amount (6.5 wt%) of Pt nanoparticles modified molybdenum carbide-decorated metallic cobalt@nitrogen-doped carbon nanohybrid materials (Pt–Mo/Co@NC). Compared with the merchant Pt/C catalysts, the obtained Pt–Mo/Co@NC composites exhibit substantially enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability, and the mass activity reaches 1727 mA mg−1 at − 0.1 V, which is about 4.3 times that of merchant Pt/C catalysts.
