High performance mesoporous carbon supported Pt and PtRu electrocatalyst synthesized via carbonization over PFA-protected dispersed platinum

Oral Presentation: abstract no. 1516Ordered mesoporous carbons, e.g. CMK-3 have been widely investigated as supports for fuel cell catalysts[1]. These structures are synthesized via carbonization of mesoporous silica templates impregnated with a carbon precursor such as sucrose or furfuryl alcohol. Loading Pt and PtRu into the high surface area mesoporous carbon supports faces problems of clustering metal nanoparticles …link_to_OA_fulltex
