| 摘要 |
The active methanol electro-oxidation catalysts include nano-oxides of transition metals (i.e., iron, cobalt and nickel) and platinum-ruthenium alloy nano-particles. The nano-oxides of the transition metals are dispersed during synthesis of a support material, such as mesoporous carbon. The catalyst includes a support material formed from mesoporous carbon, a nano-oxide of a transition metal dispersed in the support material, and platinum-ruthenium alloy nano-particles supported on the nano-oxide of the transition metal, the platinum-ruthenium alloy nano-particles (in a 1:1 molar ratio) forming about 15 wt % of the methanol electro-oxidation catalyst, the transition metals forming about 15 wt % of the methanol electro-oxidation catalyst, and carbon and oxygen forming the balance of about 70 wt % of the methanol electro-oxidation catalyst.
