摘      要：Fe_2O_3 nanorods and hexagonal nanoplates were synthesized and used as the promoters for Pt electrocatalysts toward the methanol oxidation reaction（MOR） in an alkaline *** catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,cyclic voltammetry and *** results show that the presence of Fe_2O_3 in the electrocatalysts can promote the kinetic processes of MOR on Pt,and this promoting effect is related to the morphology of the Fe_2O_3 *** catalyst with Fe_2O_3 nanorods as the promoter（Pt-Fe_2O_3/C-R） exhibits much higher catalytic activity and stability than that with Fe_2O_3 nanoplates as the promoter（Pt-Fe_2O_3/C-P）.The mass activity and specific activity of Pt in a Pt-Fe_2O_3/C-R catalyst are 5.32 A/mgpt and 162.7 A/m^2_（Pt）,respectively,which are approximately 1.67 and 2.04 times those of the Pt-Fe_2O_3/C-P catalyst,and 4.19 and 6.16 times those of a commercial PtRu/C catalyst,*** effects between Fe_2O_3 and Pt and the high content of Pt oxides in the catalysts are responsible for the *** findings contribute not only to our understanding of the MOR mechanism but also to the development of advanced electrocatalysts with high catalytic properties for direct methanol fuel cells.
