摘要
The CO2 tolerance exhibited by PtRu/C is known to be greater than that of PtMo/C catalysts in contrast to the trend in CO tolerance. In this manuscript the origins of these differences are investigated in a cyclic voltammetric investigation of the potential dependence of the poisoning of Pt/C, PtRu/C and PtMo/C anode catalyst electrodes in a miniature PEM fuel cell when exposed to pure CO, pure CO2, or 25% CO2 in H-2. The results show that the difference in the mechanisms of improved CO tolerance, compared to a Pt/C reference catalyst, of PtRu and PtMo explain the decreased CO2 tolerance of PtMo compared to PtRu; at PtRu the mechanism is intrinsic (water activation at Ru sites), whilst at PtMo the mechanism relies on the turn-over the Mo(IV/VI) redox couple.
