Influence of catalyst support characteristics and functionalization on the catalytic activity of Pt-Ru for PEM fuel cells

Pt-Ru electrocatalysts supported on carbon xerogels and ordered mesoporous carbons were synthesized by reduction with formate ions (SFM method). Chemical and heat treatments were applied to modified the surface chemistry of original carbon supports. Physical characterization of the catalysts was per...
