Abstract

ABSTRACTNanoparticul ate Pt50Ru50 supported on a carbon black (CB) were prepared by an impregnation method and the effect of the nano and microstructure towards the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol and carbon monoxide were evaluated. The in-house prepared PtRu nanoparticles were well-alloyed and finely dispersed on CB, as revealed by XRD and FESEM. FESTEM-EDX analysis of isolated PtRu single nanoparticles indicated that although the majority of the binary particles had a metal composition in accordance to the nominal ratio, some compositional deviation was observed. The activity towards electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol and preadsorbed carbon monoxide is discussed based on the nano and microstructure.
