Methanol oxidation on Pt/CeO2-C electrocatalyst prepared by microwave-assisted ethylene glycol process

▶ The interaction of carbon black and CeO2 enhances the stability of mixed support. ▶ CeO2 evidently improves the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles on mixture support. ▶ The activity enhancement of Pt/CeO2-C comes from the interaction of Pt and CeO2. ▶ The stability improvement of Pt/CeO2-C catalyst results from the anchor of CeO2.
