Carbon-supported Pt/MoO x anode catalysts were prepared by the preimpregnation, postimpregnation, and chemical reduction methods. The physicochemical characteristics of all catalysts were determined by X-ray diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and CO pulse titration. The electrochemical oxidation of CO verified from CO-stripping voltammetry shows that most of the CO ads were oxidized on the Pt sites. The Pt/MoO x /C catalyst prepared by the chemical reduction method showed superior hydrogen electrochemical oxidation in pure H 2 , apparently due to the much smaller Pt particle size than those of the other Pt/MoO x /C catalysts. However, the anode performances in the presence of 500 ppm CO/H 2 mixture showed that a catalyst with high CO tolerance was derived from the Pt/MoO x /C catalyst prepared by postimpregnation method. The oxidation of CO by the water―gas shift (WGS) reaction is shown by the formation of CO 2 even under an open-circuit condition. With an increase in current, active sites for the WGS reaction is regenerated by electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen.
