摘要
Platinum decorated Ru/C catalysts are prepared by successive reduction of a platinum precursor on preformed Ru/C. Pt:Ru atomic ratios are varied from 0.13:1 to 0.81:1 to investigate the platinum decoration effects on the catalyst's structure and electrochemical performance towards the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) at room temperature. The catalysts are extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Ru@Pt/C catalysts show enhanced mass-normalized activity and specific activity for the MOR relative to Pt/C. For the anodic oxidation of methanol, the ratio of forward to reverse oxidation peak current R (I-f/I-b,) varies considerably: R decreases from 5.8 to 0.8 when the Pt:Ru ratio increases from 0.13:1 to 0.81:1. When the ratio of Pt:Ru is 0.42:1, R reaches 0.99 (close to that of Pt/C), and further increase of the Pt:Ru ratio leads to almost no decrease in R. Coincidentally, maximum mass-normalized activity is also obtained when Pt:Ru is 0.42:1. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
