| Description |
A polyol process activated by microwave irradiation was implemented to prepare efficient Pt/C, Ru/C and
Pt1Ru1/C electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation with reducing synthesis cost and time. Study of the
post-synthesis mixture by UVevisible spectroscopy led to determine the minimum batch temperature
and synthesis time necessary for the complete reduction of metal salts. It was shown that disappearance
of metal salts and colloid formation took place after 5 min at 100 �C for Pt, 5 min at 130 �C for Ru and
5 min at 160 �C for Pt1Ru1. The PtRu catalyst characterizations by TGA, TEM and XRD indicated that the
nominal loading and nominal composition were achieved, and that the structure of this material consisted
of a mixture of Pt0.8Ru0.2 monocrystalline particles of ca. 2.5e3.0 nm, RuO2 nanoclusters and
probably Ru nanoclusters. Pt1Ru1/C catalyst displayed a high activity towards CO and methanol electrooxidation,
with onset potentials of ca. 0.2 V lower than those obtained on Pt/C catalysts, and a low
surface poisoning at 0.6 V vs. as demonstrated by chronoamperometry measurement RHE and in situ
infrared reflectance spectroscopy
