With the aim of developing an active catalyst for a direct methanol fuel cell and its preparation process, PtRu supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO), PtRu/RGO, was prepared by three different processes using RGO with different sizes, i.e., large and small. The first process (A) involves the drying of RGO, the second one (B) does not involve the drying, and the third one (P) also does goes not involve the drying but goes through a polydopamine modification. (A) results in large agglomerates of RGO due to stacking and PtRu also formed agglomerates of nanoparticles on the outer surface of the RGO agglomerates. (B) resulted in a low Pt utilization due to the stacking of RGO. (P) improved its ECSA, Pt utilization and mass activity due to the modification that allows a homogeneous and small size PtRu deposition on the RGO. However, a problem with the modification that reduce the positive interaction between PtRu and RGO was also suggested. A smaller RGO was preferred in (P), but not in (A) and (B).
