Noble metal oxides (IrOx, RuOx) and valve metal oxides (SnOx and VOx) have been investigated as promoters of Pt electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation in acidic environment. Pt modification was made using low oxide content (5 wt%) in order to evaluate the possibility of using such oxide promoter in a multifunctional catalyst. At this low level of oxide content, IrOx provided a larger promoting effect than RuOx. This occurred in the absence of specific alloying with Pt and also in the presence of lower catalyst dispersion. The electrocatalytic enhancement produced by the valve metal oxides was significantly lower than IrOx and RuOx. These results are interpreted in terms of the different water displacement mechanism for the various oxides. Such evidences seem to indicate that a multifunctional catalyst may represent a valid route to enhance methanol electro-oxidation. Copyright (C) 2014, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
