Carbon-supported uniform RuAgW nanoparticles with high activity and CO resistance toward alkaline hydrogen oxidation†
Abstract
RuAgW/C demonstrates an excellent mass specific exchange current density (j0,m) of 442.9 A gRu−1 superior to that of Pt/C (329.7 A gPt−1) toward the alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) primarily owing to weakened hydrogen binding energy (HBE) and strengthened hydroxide binding energy (OHBE).
