Abstract
ABSTRACTWe synthesized a methanol electrocatalyst with high activity and low noble metal content. The electrocatalyst consists of carbon&supported PtRu nanoparticles, which have 1-2 Pt monoatomic layers on Ru nanocores. In spite of the pure Pt surface, the catalyst showed high catalytic activity when used in the anode of a direct methanol fuel cell. Clearly the underlying Ru atoms modified the property of the surface Pt atoms, bringing about the high catalytic activity.
