摘要
Carbon nanotubes （CNTs） supported Pt-Ru and Pt-Ru-Ni catalysts were prepared by chemical reduction of metal precursors with sodium borohydride at room temperature. The crystallographic properties and composition of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and energy dispersive X-ray （EDX） analysis, and the catalytic activity and stability for methanol electro-oxidation were measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, linear sweep voltammetries （LSV）, and chronoamperometry （CA）. The results show that the catalysts exhibit face-centered cubic （fcc） structure. The particle size of Pt-Ru-Ni/CNTs catalyst is about 4.8 nm. The catalytic activity and stability of the Pt-Ru-Ni/CNTs catalyst are higher than those of Pt-Ru/CNTs catalyst.
