Abstract
- Titanium nitride (TiN) as catalyst support has a very good application prospect due to its chemical stability, electrical conductivity and the metal-support interaction. But it is difficult to synthesize nano-TiN with the uniform dispersion by a simple method. This paper proposes a novel and easy strategy to address the problem. The mesoporous g-C3N4 has been synthesized and used as both nano-reactor and nitrogen source for the synthesis of nano-TiN evenly dispersed onto Vulcan XC-72. The uniform dispersion of nano-TiN is conducive to depositing and anchoring the PtRu nanoparticles, further increasing the long-time catalytic durability. Moreover, the electronic effect of TiN obviously improves the catalytic activity and the adsorbed CO tolerance ability of PtRu catalysts for methanol oxidation. Compared with the PtRu/C catalyst, the activity of PtRu/C-TiN for methanol oxidation has been increased by 47.3%. Meanwhile, its durability has been improved by 6.5% after 1000 cycles. In addition, this novel and easy method can be generalized to the synthesis of other nano-size nitrides. The applications of nano-size nitrides modified carbon black in other fields are also expected in the future.
