Platinum dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) containing an average of 55, 100, 147, 200, and 240 atoms were prepared within sixth-generation, hydroxyl-terminated, poly(amidoamine) dendrimers. These DENs were immobilized on glassy carbon electrodes, and the effect of particle size on the kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was quantitatively evaluated using rotating disk voltammetry. The total areas of the Pt DENs were determined by electrochemical CO stripping and hydrogen desorption, and the results were found to be in reasonable agreement with calculated values. The largest particles exhibited the highest specific activities for the ORR.
在第六代、羟基封端的聚(酰胺胺)树枝状大分子中制备了平均含有55、100、147、200和240个原子的铂树枝状大分子包裹的纳米颗粒(DENs)。这些DENs被固定在玻碳电极上,并使用旋转圆盘伏安法对粒径对氧还原反应(ORR)动力学的影响进行了定量评估。通过电化学CO脱附和氢解吸测定了Pt DENs的总面积,结果与计算值合理吻合。最大的颗粒对ORR表现出最高的比活性。
