This work reports a feasible synthesis of highly-dispersed Pt and Pt-Fe nanoparticles supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs)without Fe and multiwall carbon nanotubes with iron(MWCNTs-Fe) which applied as electrocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation. A Pt coordination complex salt was synthesized in an aqueous solution and it was used as precursor to prepare Pt/MWCNTs, Pt/MWCNTs-Fe,and Pt-Fe/MWCNTs using FeCl2 4H2 O as iron source which were named S1, S2 and S3, respectively. The coordination complex of platinum(TOA)2PtCl6was obtained by the chemical reaction between(NH4)2PtCl6with tetraoctylammonium bromide(TOAB) and it was characterized by FT-IR and TGA. The materials were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, SEM, EDS, XRD, TEM and TGA. The electrocatalytic activity of Pt-based supported on MWCNTs in the methanol oxidation was investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and chronoamperometry(CA).Pt-Fe/MWCNTs electrocatalysts showed the highest electrocatalytic activity and stability among the tested electrocatalysts due to that the addition of “Fe” promotes the OH species adsorption on the electrocatalyst surface at low potentials, thus, enhancing the activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction(MOR).
