Abstract
PtRu nanoparticles were decorated on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using H2PtCl6 and RuCl3 as precursors with the aid of supercritical CO2, and the resulting composites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. TEM observation showed that nanoparticles of size about 5 nm were distributed evenly on the MWCNTs, and XRD analysis showed that the particles had a face-centered cubic crystal structure. The loading content of the nanoparticles on the MWCNTs could be adjusted by manipulating the relative ratio of the precursor to MWCNTs. The as-prepared PtRu/MWCNT composites exhibited high activity for methanol electro-oxidation.
