Abstract To address the problem of the high cost and low catalytic activity of platinum-carbon-based (Pt/C) catalysts in power sources based on direct methanol fuel cells, we developed the high-performance Pt-Ni bimetallic methanol oxidation catalyst supported on N-doped reduced graphene oxide (Pt-Ni/NrGO). Nitrogen is doped into graphene through inductively coupled plasma process using a mixture of H2 and N2 gases to create defects and active sites to promote the dispersion of metal particles and reduce the particle size. Compared with the sample without nitrogen doping and the commercial Pt/C, the Pt-Ni/NrGO catalyst exhibits better catalytic activity, stability, and reduced poisoning effect in the methanol oxidation reaction. This low-temperature plasma approach is energy-efficient and environment-friendly and provides a new route for the synthesis of advanced functional nanomaterials with the desired properties.
