Pt−Ru Nanoparticles Supported on Carbon Nanotubes as Methanol Fuel Cell Catalysts
Abstract
Bimetallic Pt−Ru alloy catalysts have been demonstrated to be more active than pure Pt catalysts in the electrooxidation of methanol. We report here a study on Pt−Ru nanoparticle catalysts supported on sonochemically functionalized carbon nanotubes. The catalysts were prepared by directly reducing the corresponding salts, K 2 PtCl 4 and K 2 RuCl 5, in an ethylene glycol aqueous solution containing dispersed carbon nanotubes. Three catalysts of different Pt to Ru atomic ratios, namely, Pt 53 Ru 47, Pt 69 Ru 31, and Pt 77 Ru 23, were prepared for investigation of the compositional effects. It was shown that highly dispersed bimetallic Pt−Ru alloy nanoparticles with no agglomeration can be synthesized on the carbon nanotubes with average particle sizes of less than 3.0 nm in diameter. The Pt−Ru nanoparticles are uniform and cover only the outside of the carbon nanotubes. It was found that the polyol process produced alloy compositions that are not consistent with the metal ratios in the precursors. It was also found that the lattice spacings of these catalysts are different due to the different compositions of the catalysts. Cyclic voltammetry showed that the catalysts were electrocatalytically active in the electrooxidation of methanol. Among the three catalysts, the Pt 53 Ru 47 catalyst produced the best performance. This catalyst was found to be the most stable, while the other two deactivated faster in the oxidation of methanol. All three Pt−Ru catalysts have higher electrocatalytic activities than a commercial catalyst of Pt 50 Ru 50 supported on carbon black. However, the Pt 69 Ru 31 and Pt 77 Ru 23 catalysts showed poorer stability that can be justified by the bifunctional mechanism of bimetallic Pt−Ru alloys.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
