Pt/Mn3O4 cubes with high anti-poisoning ability for C1 and C2 alcohol fuel oxidation†
Abstract
Pt particles anchored onto Mn3O4 cubes were found to have high anti-CO poisoning abilities for C1- and C2-alcohol fuel oxidations in acid electrolyte, due to an electronic effect that enriched the surfaces of the Pt particles with electrons and due to the oxophilicity of Mn3O4 in the system.
