An efficient route to chemically functionalize reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with ruthenium organometallic compounds and the subsequent anchorage of Pt nanoparticles is reported. Two organometallic complexes, [(η6‐C6H5OCH2CH2OH) RuCl2]2 (Ru‐dim) and [(η6‐C6H4(CHMe2)Me)RuCl2]2 (Ru‐cym), as well as commercial RuCl3 ⋅ XH2O (Ru‐com) have been synthetized an used as functionalizing agents. By implementing a conventional polyol synthesis method, the Pt/rGORu‐dim, Pt/rGORu‐cym, Pt/rGORu‐com and Pt/rGO nanocatalysts have been synthetized. Characterization by XRD indicates that the presence of Ru leads to the formation of Pt−Ru alloyed phases due to overlapping of Pt fcc and Ru hcp reflections. When characterized for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in acid media, Pt/rGORu‐dim reached a mass current density of 491.49 mA mgPt−1, higher than those generated by the other nanocatalysts. The results show that the functionalization of rGO with Ru‐dim remarkably increases the catalytic activity of Pt for the MOR, suggesting Pt−Ru metal−metal interactions that promotes the anodic reaction.
