摘要
Carbon supported platinum-ruthenium (Pt-Ru) alloy catalysts were prepared with varying metal contents by the surfactant stabilized colloidal method. We investigated the degree of alloying with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and morphology with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Based on Nafion 115 membrane, MEAs were fabricated by spray method using a mixed slurry of Nation solution and the prepared PtRu/C catalysts. The electrochemical impedance method was used to investigate the relationship between mass transport and performance. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
