The paper demonstrates the versatility of part-by-part (sequential) electrodeposition of binary alloys composed of Platinum and Ruthenium, to produce catalytic-active layers on an inert carbon substrate, whereby such fabricated bimetallic systems exhibit superior activity towards oxidation of methanol, a typical fuel used in Direct Methanol Fuel Cell as compared to the pure platinum catalystsenNano-electrochemical depositionfuel cells electrocatalystsThin-filmsplatinum group metalsNanostructured materialsPlatinumRutheniumDirect methanol fuel cellConference PresentationMathe, M.
