1 Supporting information Constructing a Triple-Phase Interface in Micropores to Boost Performance of Fe/N/C Catalysts for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells Yu-Cheng Wang, Long Huang,, Pu Zhang, Yi-Ting Qiu, Tian Sheng, Zhi-You Zhou,, * Gang Wang, Jian-Guo Liu,, * Muhammad Rauf, Zheng-Qiang Gu, Wei-Tai Wu, Shi-Gang Sun, * State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, Collaborative Innovation Center of Chemistry for Energy Materials, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen , China Kunming Sino-Platinum Metals Catalyst Co. Ltd., Kunming , China National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Collaborative Innovation Center of Advanced Microstructures, Nanjing University, Nanjing , China 1. Materials and methods 1.1 Synthesis of Fe/N/C catalyst The Fe/N/C catalyst was prepared through high-temperature pyrolysis of the mixture of the inorganic iron salts (FeCl 3 ) and PmPDA-coated carbon black, according to the previous method. s1 In brief, to the mixture of KJ600 carbon black (2 g) grafted with sulfophenyl group, m-phenylenediamine (m-pda, 15 g) and concentrated HCl (36%, 50 ml), as well as (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8 (2 M, 140 ml) and FeCl 3 (1 M, 40 ml), were added to form a Pm-PDA-coated carbon black. After centrifugal separation and washing, the obtained powder (0.3 g) was mixed with FeCl 3 (1 M, 0.9 ml). The obtained precursor was pyrolyzed at 950 C in Ar atmosphere for 1 h. The pyrolyzed sample was acid leached in 1 M HCl solution at 80 C for 8 h followed by centrifugation and washing. Finally, the obtained powder was again pyrolyzed at 950 C for 3 h to obtain the final catalyst. 1.2 Fabrication of MEA Preparation of DMFC anode Commercial Pt-Ru/C (20 mg, 40 wt% Pt and 20 wt% Ru, Johnson Matthey) was dispersed in the mixture of deionized water (200 µl) and isopropanol (400 µl), followed by adding 217 µl of 5% Nafion solution, and then ultrasonically dispersed for 15 min in an ice bath. The obtained anode ink was coated on a gas diffusion layer (1.21 cm 2 ) consisting of a PTFE-pretreated Toray 060 carbon paper with a microporous layer. The total metal (Pt+Ru) loading of the anode was 4.0 mg cm -2. S1
2 Preparation of Fe/N/C-based DMFC cathode In a typical procedure, the Fe/N/C catalyst (25 mg), isopropanol (1 ml), 5% Nafion solution (550 µl) and DMS (50 mg) was mixed and ultrasonically dispersed in an ice bath. The resulting cathode ink was coated on a gas diffusion layer described above and finally dried at 80 o C under vacuum. The Fe/N/C loading was 5.0 mg cm -2. The optimum ratio of DMS to Fe/N/C was 2:1. Preparation of Pt/C cathode for DMFC The cathode ink was prepared by mixing commercial Pt/C catalyst (60wt%Pt, Johnson Matthey), Nafion solution (5wt%), and moderate solvent, then ultrasonic mixed for 10 min in an ice bath. The cathode ink was dispersed on a gas diffusion layer through silk-screen process. The Pt loading was controlled at 2 mg cm -2. Hot-pressing MEA The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) was fabricated by hot-pressing a cathode, an anode, a Nafion membrane (Dupont NRE 211 or 115, corresponding to the thickness of 25.4 or 127 µm, respectively), and required size of gasket at 135 o C and 3 M Pa for 2 min. The compression ratio of the total MEA was 35%. The Nafion membrane had been pre-treated with 3% H 2 O 2 and 1 M H 2 SO 4 for 1 h to remove impurities, and preserved in deionized water prior to hot-pressing. 1.3 Fuel cell performance test Polarization curves and durability curves were measured on a Fuel Cell Test System (Arbin Instrument Corporation). Non-humidified oxygen (99.999%) or air was fed as the oxidant at a flow rate of 100 sccm. Methanol solution was passed at 1 ml min -1 and pre-heated to 60 o C or 80 o C before the inlet of the anode. The performance of DMFC was conducted at ambient pressure and the active area of MEA was 1.21 cm -2. After keeping the MEA under these conditions for about half an hour, a constant open circuit voltage (OCP) was obtained, then followed by cell ohmic resistance test and the polarization performance test. The polarization data were recorded in a galvanostatic polarization mode and each point was stayed for 1 minute to get the steady state data. The cell ohmic resistance was tested again after the polarization performance test to make sure the integrity of MEA. 1.4 Electrochemical measurements The ORR polarization curves were obtained on a CHI-760D bipotentiostat equipped with a rotating ring-disk electrode. A standard three-electrode system, including a glassy carbon (GC, φ = 5.61 mm) disk-pt ring RRDE coated with catalyst, a GC plate counter electrode, and a reversible hydrogen reference (RHE) electrode. The scanning rate was set to 10 mv s -1. The electrolyte solution was purged for at S2
3 least 30 min with high-purity N 2 or O 2 before each test. ORR polarization curves were conducted with potential cycles at potentials between 0.2 V and 1.0 V at 10 mv s -1 in N 2 or O 2 -saturated 0.1 M H 2 SO 4 at 30 o C. Double layer current was corrected and solution ohmic drop was compensated for ORR polarization curves. As for the preparation of catalyst ink, the bare Fe/N/C catalyst (6 mg) was dispersed in a mixture of de-ionized water (0.5 ml) and ethanol (0.5 ml). For the Fe/N/C-DMS catalyst ink, isometric isopropanol (1 ml) used as solvent to disperse Nafion and DMS. And then the dispersion was ultrasonically dispersed for 1 h. The ink was coated on the GC disk electrode, and dried at room temperature. The loading of Fe/N/C catalyst on the electrode surface was maintained at 0.6 mg cm Physical characterizations Contact angle of water and methanol solution droplet on the surface of Fe/N/C catalyst layer were conducted on SDC-100 contact angle measurement instrument (Shengding Precision Instrument Co., Ltd., China) at room temperature. The Ar adsorption/desorption isotherm was tested on ASAP 2020 physisorption analyzer (Micromeritics). Micropore size distribution was obtained by Horvath Kawazoe (HK) method, and the mesopore size distribution by Barret Joyner Halenda (BJH) method. The adsorption branch data were used. Laser diffraction particle size distribution of DMS in isopropanol was carried on Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern, UK). Reference [s1] Wang, Q.; Zhou, Z. Y.; Lai, Y. J.; You, Y.; Liu, J. G.; Wu, X.
