The purpose of this review is to discuss progress in the understanding of electrocatalytic
reactions through the study of model systems with surface spectroscopies. Pure metal single …

In the present work several Pt-based anode catalysts supported on carbon XC-72R were
prepared with a novel method and characterized by means of XRD, TEM and XPS analysis …

The influences of support (SiO 2 versus Al 2 O 3), synthesis method (impregnation versus
colloidal synthesis) and Sn loading on the performance of Sn-promoted Pt nanoparticles for …

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to describe the adsorption of H2, CO
and H2O on the close packed surfaces of Pt, Ru, Pt3Sn and PtRu. The calculations show …

It has been observed in this work and previous studies that Pt3Sn alloy surfaces are very
effective catalysts for CO electrooxidation, but not for methanol electrooxidation. Since …

In the present work, several Pt-based anode catalysts supported on activated carbon XC-
72R were prepared by using a novel method, characterized and tested. XRD analysis and …

The barrier to CO oxidation on Pt catalysts is the strongly bound adsorbed CO, which inhibits
O 2 adsorption and hinders CO 2 formation. Using reaction studies and in situ X-ray …

A majorproblem in the development of low-temperature fuel cells for transportation
applications is the deactivation of the Pt anode electrocatalystby even trace levels, eg, 10 …

In this work we present results of a periodic density-functional theory study of the adsorption
of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydroxyl (OH) on platinum–ruthenium, platinum–molybdenum …

Kinetic measurements on preferential CO oxidation in a H2-rich atmosphere (PROX) over a
bimetallic, carbon supported PtSn catalyst reveal a high activity and selectivity already at low …
