Abstract

Synthesis techniques for binary PtSn, PdM (M = Sn, V, Mo) and ternary PtSnNi, PtRuSn catalysts of ethanol electrooxidation on highly dispersed carbon materials are suggested. The highest activity in the 0.5 M H2SO4 solution containing 1 M C2H5OH corresponds to the system of PtSn (3: 1, 40 wt % Pt) with the particle size of 2–4 nm and tin content in the alloy with platinum of about 6%. It was shown that the catalyst efficiency as regards ethanol oxidation depth decreases in the series of Pt > PtRu ≈ PtSn, and the catalyst activity by current forms the series of PtSn > PtRu > Pt. The membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) with the anodes on the basis of the PtSn (3: 1, 40 wt % Pt) catalyst had stable characteristics for 220 h at the current density of ∼50 mA/cm2.
