摘要
The preparation of highly dispersed PtSn/MWNTs catalyst and its use as anode catalysts for direct ethanol conversions (DEFC) was reported. Using X-ray diffraction, both the PtSn/MWNTs and PtSn/XC-72 catalysts were analyzed. It was shown that Pt diffraction peaks exhibited that PtSn/MWNTs has a Pt face centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure. It was suggested that the catalyst support played an important role in the enhancement of ethanol electro-oxidation activity.
