Abstract

The electrodeposition of Platinum and Ruthenium nanoparticles into Molybdenum carbide/ glassy carbon electrodes and their catalytic activity for the oxidatlon of methanol are described. These Mo2C@PtRu electrodes exhibit good activity with respect to the catalytic oxidation of methanol. The electrodes exhibited excellent long term stabilty in the acidic methanol solutions.
