UHV, Electrochemical NMR, and Electrochemical Studies of Platinum/Ruthenium Fuel Cell Catalysts

Abstract: It is well-known that platinum/ruthenium fuel cell catalysts show enhanced CO tolerance compared to pure platinum electrodes, but the reasons are still being debated. We have combined cyclic voltammetry (CV), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), electrochemical nuclear magnetic resonance, and radio active labeling to probe the origin of the ruthenium enhancement in Pt electrodes modified through Ru deposition. The results prove that the addition of ruthenium not only modifies the electronic structure of al… Show more

“…This phenomenon has already been observed by cyclic voltammetry at Ru-modified electrodes for both Pt (hkl) electrodes [19±23] and non-supported Pt nanoparticles [12,25,26]. In addition, using spectroscopic methods such as IR reflectance spectroscopy [19,20,27] or solid state NMR spectroscopy [12,28], two types of CO species have been identified on the electrode surface. It is therefore very likely that CO surface mobility is related to the kinetics of CO and methanol oxidation at PtRu electrodes.…”

“…A catalytic effect can also be explained by the ligand effect where the metal M atoms close to Pt are expected to influence the density of electronic states of Pt, leading to the weakening of the Pt-CO bond. [36][37][38][39] The present work focuses on ethanol oxidation on Pt alloy catalysts (Pt-Sn and Pt-Sn-W) prepared by an arc-melting furnace process. Chronoamperometric measurements were performed with each catalyst in order to compare their electroactivities to that of Pt alone.…”

“…High-surface area PtRu alloy supported on carbon black is one of the most promising materials as an anode catalyst for DMFC , because of its high tolerance against carbon monoxide poisoning. The promotion effect of Ru has been mainly discussed based on the so-called "bifunctional mechanism" [4][5][6] or "ligand effect" [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] or a mixture of both.…”
