Hydrothermal synthesis of PtRu/MWCNTs anodic catalyst for DMFC and electrocatalytic performance

Xiaogang Zhang

Abstract

PtRu /MWCNTs anodic catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment.The electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol was studied by cyclic voltammetry,linear sweep voltammetry,chronoamperometry and impendance spectroscopy.It was found that PtRu/MWCNTs catalysts synthesized in hydrothermal condition had higher electrocatalytic activities and better tolerance to poisoning species in methanol oxidation than that of PtRu/Vulcan XC-72.
