Abstract

Pt – Rh – Ru alloy catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation were prepared by electrochemical deposition under constant potential conditions. The Pt : Rh : Ru ratio was varied by changing electroplating solution composition. Obtained catalysts were examined electrochemically in acidic solutions containing methanol. Stripping voltammetry was applied to study adsorption of methanol on the electrodes surfaces while oxidation of methanol from solution was studied by means of chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetry. The highest electrocatalytic activity was observed for an alloy with the highest obtained ruthenium concentration of 31%.
