摘要: Abstract Through synthesizing a series of carbon supported ternary PtAuCu nanoparticle catalysts with the varied Cu content followed by subsequently electro-chemical activation treatment, highly active Pt-Au-rich have successfully been acquired in present paper. The as-synthesized and activated were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM), energy dispersive (EDX), photoelectron (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) chronoamperometry (CA). results show that electrochemical process has strongly interrelationship compositional ratio between Pt/Au Cu. higher is precursor, lower residual buried-underneath atoms retain after activation. Among catalysts, Pt10Au10Cu80/C exhibits best catalytic performance for electro-oxidation commonly-targeted small organic molecule fuels including formic acid, methanol ethanol acid circumstance. activity enhancement mechanism based upon as well induced possible synergistic effect from elemental interactions was also discussed.
