摘 要：Carbon-supported platinum catalysts were prepared by NaBH4 reduction of metal precursors and the CeO2 nanoparticles were pre-pared by citric acid sol-gel method.The structure and morphology of two kinds of nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）,respectively.The Pt particles were uniformly dispersed on the carbon surface and showed the rod-like morphology.The CeO2 was spherical in shape.The appropriate amount of CeO2 nanoparticles was added into Pt/C sys-tems to improve activity of the catalysts.Several electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammogram （CV）,chronoamperometry （I-t） and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） were used to investigate the properties of CeO2-Pt/C catalysts for methanol electrooxidation in 1 mol/L CH3OH+0.5H2SO4 aqueous solutions.The results revealed that compared with Pt/C catalysts CeO2-Pt/C exhibited a higher activity and stability for methanol electro-oxidation.Moreover,the effect of CeO2 content on the activity of Pt/C catalysts was discussed in detail.
