مستخلص: Possibilities for production of active Pt–Ru electrodes for the direct methanol fuel cell with a decreased content of platinum-group metals in them are studied. Platinum and ruthenium are electrodeposited on a thin layer of carbon black applied to a Nafion 117 membrane. The deposition potential effect on the specific surface area of the catalyst and its electrochemical activity in the methanol oxidation is studied. The oxidation currents are related to unit true surface area or unit catalyst mass. The dependence of activity on the Pt : Ru ratio in the plating solution and in the deposit is studied. The effect of the catalyst amount deposited and the particle size on the activity is studied. It is shown that the catalytic activity decreases at the average diameter of Pt–Ru particles less than 4 nm. The results are compared with the size effects observed earlier. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
