The electro-oxidation of methanol was studied on Pt/C, PtRu/C and PtMo/C. These catalysts were prepared by the formic acid method developed in this laboratory. The products of methanol oxidation were monitored by DEMS experiments. The activity of the catalysts for the oxidation of methanol was studied by cyclic voltametry and cronamperometry.
