A catalytic platinum–ruthenium–polyaniline electrode for methanol oxidation

Polyaniline films prepared on Au wires were employed as substrates to deposit Pt and/or Ru using a potential-programmed perturbation. Different compositions of Pt and Ru ions in acid electrolyte were employed to decorate the electrodes. The atomic percentages of Pt and Ru on Pani were determined by...

Sumario:Polyaniline films prepared on Au wires were employed as substrates to deposit Pt and/or Ru using a potential-programmed perturbation. Different compositions of Pt and Ru ions in acid electrolyte were employed to decorate the electrodes. The atomic percentages of Pt and Ru on Pani were determined by EDAX and particle size and distribution by SEM. The catalytic activity was tested for adsorbed CO and CH3OH electrooxidation. Nanoparticles of Pt–Ru with different Pt–Ru contents were obtained and characterized for each reaction.
