Abstract: PtRu (1 : 1) catalysts supported on low surface area carbon of the Sibunit family (SBET = 72 m2 g−1) with a metal percentage ranging from 5 to 60% are prepared and tested in a CO monolayer and for methanol oxidation in H2SO4 electrolyte. At low metal percentage small (<2 nm) alloy nanoparticles, uniformly distributed on the carbon surface, are formed. As the amount of metal per unit surface area of carbon increases, particles start coalescing and form first quasi two-dimensional, and then three-dimensional metal nanostructures. This results in a strong enhancement of specific catalytic activity in methanol oxidation and a decrease of the overpotential for CO monolayer oxidation. It is suggested that intergrain boundaries connecting crystalline domains in nanostructured PtRu catalysts produced at high metal-on-carbon loadings provide active sites for electrocatalytic processes.
