“…Grgur and coworkers reported that the magnitude of H 2 oxidation current with the PtMo catalyst in low-overpotential region is nearly the same as that observed with the PtRu catalyst. 9,23,24 Most importantly, PtMo requires less overpotential for CO electro-oxidation bỹ 0.15 V. 24,25 Despite the disparate chemical properties of Ru and Mo, the characteristics of PtMo catalyst appear to be similar to those of PtRu catalyst, thus the enhancement induced by Mo was generally ascribed to the bifunctional mechanism. The role of Mo in CO electro-oxidation, however, remains elusive.…”
