Composite polyaniline electrodes containing carbon nanotubes incorporated in the film and spontaneous Pt–Ru deposits as catalytic material for CO oxidation are reported. PANI films were electrosynthesized from a monomer ...

This work investigates the effects of carbon-supported Pt, Pt-Ru, Pt-Rh and Pt-Ru-Rh alloy electrocatalysts oil the yields of CO2 and acetic acid as electro-oxidation products of ethanol. Electronic and structural features ...

In this work a comparative analysis between different Pt-Ru(111) surface models and pure Pt(111) surface is presented. Some aspects of the electronic structure of the surfaces and hydrogen adsorption are analysed based on ...

We show that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with high density of defects can present a strong electronic interaction with nanoparticles of Pt-Ru with average particle size of 3.5 +/- 0.8 nm. Depending on the Pt-Ru loading on the ...

The behavior of Pt/C and Pt-RuO(x)/C electrodes subjected to a larger number of potential scans and constant potential for prolonged time periods was investigated in the absence and presence of methanol. The structural ...

Nafion® 117 membranes doped with Pt (4 x 10-4 mol L-1 or 8 x 10-4 mol L-1 H2PtCl6 solution), and with Pt-Ru (4 x 10-4 mol L-1 H2PtCl6 and 2 x 10-4 mol L-1 RuCl3 solutions) nanoparticles have been synthesized using a simple ...

In this work, we present a study of the activity of carbon-supported PdRu catalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline medium, as well as the comparison with similar materials based on Pt (PtRu/C). The catalysts ...
