Well-homogenized PtRu/C electrocatalysts possessing high specific activity for methanol electro-oxidation were prepared by a co-impregnation method from carbon black and ethanolic solutions of Pt(NH3)(2)(NO2)(2) and RuNO(NO3)(x). The specific activity for methanol electro-oxidation increased with an increase in the PtRu particle size. A similar size effect was observed for Pt/C electrocatalysts. The size effect was discussed by considering a model catalyst method.
