Developing new synthetic methods for the controlled synthesis of Pt-based or non-Pt nanocatalysts with low or no Pt loading to facilitate sluggish cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and organics oxidation reactions is a key issue in the development of fuel cell technology. Various nanoparticles (NPs), ranging from the size to shape, composition and structure, have shown the good potential to catalyze the sluggish cathodic and anodic reactions. In this presentation, I will talk about my recent advances on synthesis of graphene-FePt, graphene-Co/CoO and graphene-PtPd nanoparticles for effectively enhancing ORR and methanol oxidation reaction.
