Quaternary Pt2Ru1Fe1M1/C (M=Ni, Mo, or W) catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation reaction
Quaternary Pt2Ru1Fe1M1/C (M=Ni, Mo, or W) catalysts were investigated for the methanol electro-oxidation reaction (MOR). Electrocatalytic activities of the quaternary catalysts for CO electro-oxidation were studied via CO stripping experiments, and the Pt2Ru1Fe1Ni1/C and Pt2Ru1Fe1W1/C catalysts exhibited lowered on-set potential compared to that of a commercial PtRu/C catalyst. MOR activities of the quaternary catalysts were determined by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) experiments, and the Pt2Ru1Fe1W1/C catalyst outperformed the commercial PtRu/C catalyst by 170 and 150% for the mass and specific activities, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to analyze surface oxidation states of constituent atoms, and it was identified that the structure of the synthesized catalysts are close to a nano-composite of Pt and constituent metal hydroxides and oxides. In addition, the XPS results suggested that the bi-functional mechanism accounts for the improved performance of the Pt2Ru1Fe1Ni1/C and Pt2Ru1 Fe1W1/C catalysts.
