Evolution of the electrocatalytic activity of carbon-supported amorphous platinum-ruthenium-nickel-phosphorous nanoparticles for methanol oxidation

PtRuNiP/C catalysts with different disorder degree were prepared, and the amorphous PtRuNiP/C catalyst with appropriate disorder degree exhibits the best performance for methanol oxidation than the other catalysts due to the surface composition and the electronic effect from disorder structure.
