## Abstract A comparative study between carbon supported Platinum–Tin (Pt–Sn~syn~), synthesized via the carbonyl route, and the commercial (Pt~3~Sn) from E–TEK is reported. The electro‐oxidation of methanol and adsorbed CO, in sulphuric acid medium, were used as probes to evaluate the performance o

✦ Synopsis
Direct ethanol fuel cell a b s t r a c t Pt nanoparticles were supported on Sb 2 O 5 .SnO 2 (ATO), on carbon and on physical mixtures of ATO and carbon by an alcohol-reduction process using ethylene glycol as reducing agent. The obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their performance for ethanol oxidation was investigated at room temperature by chronoamperometry and in a direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) at 100 C. Pt nanoparticles supported on a physical mixture of ATO and carbon showed a significant increase of performance for ethanol oxidation compared to Pt nanoparticles supported on ATO or on carbon.
