description | It is of prime importance to develop anode electrocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) with good performance, which is critical for their commercial applications. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived carbon materials are extensively developed as supports of catalysts. Herein, Co embedded nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube hollow porous carbon (Co-NCNT-HPC) derived from MOFs have been fabricated, which were synthesized by pyrolyzing at an optimized temperature of 800 °C using ZIF-8@ZIF-67 as a precursor. The presence of ZIF-8@ZIF-67 ensures the doping of nitrogen and the large specific surface area of the support materials at high temperatures. A Pt/Co-NCNT-HPC800 sample, which was synthesized using Co-NCNT-HPC800 as a support, showed an enhanced mass activity of 416.2 mA mg<sup>−1</sup><sub>Pt</sub> for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), and the onset potential of CO<sub>ad</sub> oxidation of 0.51 V, which shifted negatively about 0.13 V compared with Pt/C (20%). Moreover, the Pt/Co-NCNT-HPC800 sample exhibits high stability. This work provides a facile strategy for MOF-derived carbon materials to construct advanced electrocatalysts for MOR. |
