This paper describes
cobalt-
platinum intermetallic compounds confined to a
nitrogen-
doped carbon framework, their preparation methods, and applications, belonging to the technical field of
ethanol electrocatalytic catalyst preparation. In the synthesis of ZIF-67,
platinum salts are added to encapsulate it within the
dodecahedron of ZIF-67 to obtain Pt / ZIF-67, which is then annealed at high temperature in a
mixed gas atmosphere to obtain CoPt3-NC. In the
ethanol electrocatalytic oxidation (EOR) reaction, it exhibits good catalytic activity and stability, including lower
overpotential, smaller Tafel slope, higher
current density, and lower
charge transfer resistance. This is because this method can effectively disperse CoPt3 nanoparticles on the
nitrogen-
doped carbon framework, preventing agglomeration and
dissolution, thus exposing more active sites. This method improves the EOR performance of
cobalt-
platinum alloy materials and reduces the use of the
precious metal platinum, thereby lowering costs.
