Ti-modified Si3N4 (Ti/Si3N4) whiskers were modified with titanium by a one-pot deposition method in a vacuum. Pt electrocatalysts supported on Ti/Si3N4 (Pt-Ti/Si3N4) were fabricated using a microwave-assisted reduction method. A Ti coating was formed on the surface of Si3N4 and strongly bonded with Si3N4 with the assistance of TiNx and Ti5Si3. In this paper, the Pt-Ti/Si3N4 electrocatalysts demonstrated outstanding electrochemical stability and excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions compared to the Pt supported on pristine Si3N4.
