Pt-Ru electrocatalysts are commonly applied anode materials for low-temperature fuel cells, as the addition of ruthenium improves the CO tolerance of the otherwise CO-sensitive platinum catalysts, either by an electronic effect or by electro-oxidation via oxygen-containing adsorbates in the so-called bifunctional mechanism...
Keywords: Electrocatalysis, Heat-Treatment, Methanol Oxidation (MOR), Pt-Ru Ruthenium Oxide
