✦ Synopsis
This work presents studies of electronic characteristics and alloy stability carried out for Pt-Fe/C catalysts of different compositions (10-50% Fe, in atoms) and same particle size. The electronic properties are characterized by in situ dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy (DXAS). The results show a steady decrease in Pt d-band occupancy as the amount of Fe in the alloy increases. The alloy stability is evaluated by prolonged potential cycling up to 1.0 V. Catalysts with Fe content up to 30% show good stabilities and keep their activities for oxygen reduction after prolonged cycling. In contrast, catalysts with Fe content above 30% suffer pronounced Fe leaching.

## Abstract The temperature dependence of the oxygen reduction kinetics on carbon‐supported Ru~x~Se~y~ catalysts is studied using a rotating disc electrode in 0.5 M H~2~SO~4~ in the temperature interval from 25 °C to 65 °C. When the absolute value of the overpotential is below ca. 0.65 V, the react
Oxygen reduction on Pt supported on carbon black in PTFE-bonded porous electrodes in 98% H,PO, at 170°C was investigated. The influence of the Pt surface area and the volume of H,PO, in the electrode structure (per cent acid occupation, PAO) on the performance of porous electrodes (ie current-potent
