Abstract Copper nitrate and trimesic acid were used as raw materials to fabricate octahedral HKUST-1 by hydrothermal method. HKUST-1 was calcined in Ar protective atmosphere and Cu/C nanoparticles were derived through carbothermal reduction reaction. The Cu@Pt/C catalyst was obtained by soaking Cu/C in potassium chloroplatinic acid solution by galvanic displacement. The morphology and microstructure of Cu@Pt/C catalyst as well as its electrocatalytic activity towards methanol were further characterized by SEM, XRD, XPS and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results show that the as-prepared Cu@Pt/C catalyst retains special octahedral structure of HKUST-1 and has a core-shell structure formed by Pt coating on the surface of Cu. The electrochemically active surface areas (ECSA) measured by cyclic voltammetry curves in H2SO4 solution is 74.3 m2/g, about 1.47 times as much as that of commercial Pt/C. The cyclic voltammetry curves in H2SO4+CH3OH solution shows the ratio of positive sweep peak current density to reverse sweep peak current density Jf/Jb is 2.18, which is much higher than that of commercial Pt/C. Thus Cu@Pt/C catalyst has better electrocatalytic activity to methanol oxidation and better CO tolerance.
