Superior anti-CO poisoning capability: Au-decorated PtFe nanocatalysts for high-performance methanol oxidation†
Abstract
Herein we demonstrate a surface engineering strategy, namely, decorating Au on the surface of bimetallic PtFe nanocatalysts, to effectively decrease the adsorption energy of CO on the Pt center, which promotes the electrocatalytic activity towards methanol oxidation, far better than those of PtFe and commercial Pt/C catalysts.
