The role of electronic properties of Pt and Pt alloys for enhanced reformate electro-oxidation in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells by Halder, A., Mukerjee, S., Jia, Qingying, Chan, S. H., Ehteshami, Seyyed Mohsen Mousavi

“…In situ XAS measurements in combination with FEFF8 calculations are performed to correlate the CO and CO2 tolerance trends with the electronic properties of these Pt-based alloy catalysts. We find that the anode overpotential in the presence of CO2 can be generally related to the experimental Pt d-band vacancy or calculated d-band center, and thus governed by the Pt electronic properties modified by the alloyed metal(s). …”
