Direct methanol fuel cell technology recently becomes the focus of both academic and engineering cir-cles,which stimulates the exploitation and utilization of advanced electrode catalysts with high activity and long lifespan.Herein,we demonstrate a robust bottom-up approach to the spatial construction of three-dimensional(3D)spinel manganese-cobalt oxide-modified N-doped graphene nanoarchitectures decorated with ultrasmall Pt nanoparticles(Pt/MnCo2O4-NG)via a controllable self-assembly process.The incorporation of MnCo2O4 nanocrystals provides abundant hydroxyl sources to pro-mote the oxidative removal of CO-like byproducts on Pt sites,while the existence of 3D porous N-doped graphene networks facilitates the transportation of both ions and electrons in the hybrid system,thus giving rise to remarkable synergetic coupling effects during the methanol oxidation process.Consequently,the optimized Pt/MnCo2O4-NG nanoarchitecture expresses exceptional electrocatalytic properties with a large electrochemically active surface area of 99.5 m2·g-1,a high mass activity of 1508.3 mA·mg-1,strong toxicity resistance and reliable long-term durability,which have obvious competitive advantages over those of conventional Pt/carbon black,Pt/carbon nanotube,Pt/graphene,and Pt/N-doped graphene catalysts with the same Pt usage.
