A novel one-step method to prepare the nanocomposites of reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/nanoporous gold (NPG) is realized by chemically dealloying an AlAu precursor. The RGO nanosheets anchored on the surface of NPG have a cicada wing like shape and act as both conductive agent and buffer layer to improve the catalytic ability of NPG for methanol electro-oxidation reaction (MOR). This improvement can also be ascribed to the microstructure change of NPG in dealloying with RGO. This work inspires a facile and economic method to prepare the NPG based catalyst for MOR.
通过对AlAu前驱体进行化学脱合金化,实现了一种制备还原氧化石墨烯(RGO)/纳米多孔金(NPG)纳米复合材料的新型一步法。锚定在NPG表面的RGO纳米片呈蝉翼状,同时作为导电剂和缓冲层,以提高NPG对甲醇电氧化反应(MOR)的催化能力。这种改善也可归因于NPG在与RGO脱合金化过程中的微观结构变化。这项工作启发了一种简便且经济的方法来制备用于MOR的基于NPG的催化剂。
