The electrooxidation of methanol on porous carbon electrodes impregnated with bimetallic platinum group catalysts, Pt/M (M = Au, OS, Ir, Pd and Ru), in a H,SO, electrolyte is reported. Both Au and Pd are found to inhibit the reaction while Ir, OS and Ru act as promotors. The presence of metal oxides

In the present work, a detailed characterization of the electrochemical behavior of carbon supported PdePt electrocatalysts toward CO and methanol electrooxidation in direct methanol fuel cells is reported. Technical electrodes containing an ionomer in their catalyst layer were prepared for this pur
## Abstract Molybdenum carbide (MoC) and tungsten carbide (WC) are synthesized by direct carbonization method. PtβRu catalysts supported on MoC, WC, and Vulcan XCβ72R are prepared, and characterized by Xβray diffraction, Xβray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy in conj
Hollow carbon spheres (HCSs) were prepared through a simple hydrothermal method using silica particles and glucose as the template and carbon precursor, respectively. HCSs used as supports for platinum catalysts deposited with cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) were prepared for application as anode catalysts in
