A successful approach to assemble Au core Pd shell(Au@Pd) nanoparticles on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized by methylene blue(MB)(Au@Pd/f uv-MWCNTs) was reported. In this method,MWCNTs were functionalized under ultraviolet irradiation.UV–Vis analysis and high-angle annular dark-field transmission electron microscope(HAADF-TEM) image prove that core–shell structure of Au@Pd nanoparticles forms.TEM results indicate that Au@Pd nanoparticles(~5.2 nm)are well-dispersed on the surface of f uv-MWCNTs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) reveals that ultraviolet irradiation can promote the interaction between Au@Pd nanoparticles and the functional groups on the surface of MWCNTs. Cyclic voltammograms(CV), chronoamperograms(CA), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) results demonstrate that the Au@Pd/f uv-MWCNTs catalysts show excellent electrocatalytic performance for methanol oxidation in alkaline media. The catalytic activity of the Au@Pd/f uv-MWCNTs is ~2 times higher than that of the commercial Pd/C catalysts. This is mostly attributed to that ultraviolet irradiation can make the moieties of MB provide a uniform surface with active and anchoring sites,and improves the functional effect of MB on the surface ofMWCNTs. Especially, ultraviolet irradiation modifies electronic structure of Pd and is beneficial for the enhancement of catalytic activity.
