CatalystsH 2000 Novel Nanocomposite Pt/RuO2·xH2O/Carbon Nanotube Catalysts for Direct

Methanol Fuel Cells. — The title materials are synthesized from aqueous solutions of carbon nanotubes (CNT) coated with sodium dodecyl sulfate and RuCl3 (sonication for 5 min), followed by deposition of Pt using H2[PtCl6] in ethylene glycol (140 °C, 3 h). The samples are characterized by XRD, TEM, and electrochemical measurements. The Pt/RuO2·0.56H2O/CNT catalyst shows superb performance for direct methanol elec-trooxidation. — (CAO, L.; SCHEIBA, F.; ROTH, C.; SCHWEIGER, F.; CREMERS, C.; STIMMING, U.; FUESS, H.; CHEN, L.; ZHU, W.; QIU*, X.; Angew.
