Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates enhanced methanol oxidation kinetics in electrocatalysts, suggesting novel design strategies.

Key Points

  • The research aims to optimize the adsorption of *CO and *OH on Ru@PtMo electrocatalysts to improve methanol oxidation reactions.
  • Utilized density functional theory (DFT) to analyze electronic properties and adsorption balances.
  • Synthesized Ru cluster @PtMo nanowire assemblies to assess methanol oxidation performance.
  • Characterized multiple properties to understand the role of electron-rich Pt sites and Ru cluster interactions.
  • Ru cluster @PtMo NWAs exhibited a record-high activity of 14.74 mA cm −2 for alkaline methanol oxidation.
  • Achieved a specific activity of 5.54 A mg −1, indicating a significant enhancement in performance.
  • DFT calculations revealed successful weakening of *CO adsorption while promoting *OH kinetics due to d-d orbital hybridization.
