本研究目標為開發出氧化石墨烯與奈米白金結構之新穎電極材料，將其應用於直接甲醇燃料電池中，並採用循環伏安法於鹼性溶液甲醇氧化中測出其電催化活性，研究結果發現氧化石墨烯電極比純ITO電極於鹼性甲醇氧化反應上具有電流放大效果。為了更深入探討觸媒與氧化石墨烯的電流變化和毒化程度關係，實驗上是採用物理濺鍍方式製作出奈米尺度的白金薄膜，此法可控制其厚度與成膜狀態，並鍍製於已鋪上氧化石墨烯奈米薄膜的ITO玻璃上，成功地製作出三明治結構的新穎電極，其實驗結果均顯示有添加氧化石墨烯薄膜的電極擁有較佳的電流放大強度且無加深毒化程度的影響。另外，實驗上比較還原氧化石墨烯和氧化石墨烯之電化學反應，其結果卻發現電流的損失明顯增加，推測其原因可能為還原氧化石墨烯會與反應中間的產物吸附造成表面毒化所致。最後，實驗上也使用化學製作方式，以PAMMA dendrimer高分子合成出奈米白金顆粒並嵌於其內，之後鍵結於氧化石墨烯上製作出奈米複合材料，雖然此複合材料應用於電化學的實驗結果並無展現出甲醇氧化的效果，但此方法卻可建立一種高分子材料與氧化石墨烯鍵結的簡單製作方式。
本研究的另一部分則是探討氧化石墨烯的基本性質，以及分析氧化石墨烯與聚乙二胺樹狀高分子包覆白金奈米顆粒之複合材料的結構與鍵結方式，從TEM影像中可以發現樹狀高分子包覆住大小約1.2 nm的奈米級白金粒子，並藉由PH值和濃度的調控將適量的樹狀高分子與氧化石墨烯結合，其結果可經由TEM影像清楚看到樹狀高分子均勻的覆蓋在氧化石墨烯表面上。實驗上同時將複合材料使用FTIR與XPS進行分析，以及綜合探討氧化石墨烯表面的分子結構和複合材料的TEM結果，可推論出此複合材料於PH8.35下是以氧化石墨烯上的COO-與樹狀高分子的NH3+正負電鍵結，另外還參與了少部分氧化石墨烯環氧基群的開環共價鍵結合。

This research develop novel electrode material by graphene oxide (GO) and platinum nanoparticle for Direct Methanol Fuel cell (DMFC). We prepare nanoscale platinum film at Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) glass by DC-sputtering,and control Pt film thickness by sputtering time. Finally, we successfully get electrode of sandwich structure, and it was exmined by using cyclic noltammetry (CV) for oxideation of methanol. The results show that Indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode with GO has enhanced electric current property. In addition, we also compare with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). And study performance for foeware peak current and catalyst tolerance.The results show that GO is better than rGO. Due to rGO adsorption intermediate product in methanol oxideation reaction inducing rGO surface was polluted. We also use chemical method to make novel composites eletrode. First, the Pt nanoparticle was successfully synthesized on PAMAM dendrimer using reducing agent, and directly added to graphene oxide solution. However, the composites didn’t get good Electrochemical property for methanol oxidation. We believe that can use in other application, because it has simple synthesis process and Pt nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on GO.
Another part of research, we study characteristic for graphene oxide and it composites (GO/Den(Pt)). To understand detail molecule structure of GO by Raman spectra and micro photo luminescence. The composites can find average size of Pt particles is 1.2 nm and homogeneous distribution of Pt particles on the graphene oxide surface by TEM image. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirm that the covalent bonds and eletrostatic interaction are introduced in the whole process.
