The RuO2–SnO2nanostructured electrodes for methanol electrooxidation are prepared by means of colloidal synthetic method. Using X-ray diffraction method and transmission electron microscopy, it is observed that the crystallinity of nanocomposite supports is increased with heat treatment due to an increased crystallinity of SnO2and RuO2nanophases with ∼5nm in size. In the case of the RuSnO2supported catalysts, Pt nanocatalysts with ∼3nm in size are well dispersed and mixed with RuSnO2nanocomposite supports. Using an electrochemical and thermogravimetric analysis, it is found that the RuSnO2supported catalysts show an excellent catalytic activity and stability in comparison with Vulcan XC-72 supported catalyst. Furthermore, compared to the Pt catalyst supported by as-prepared RuSnO2, the Pt catalyst supported by RuSnO2heated at 400°C displays an excellent catalytic activity and stability, which could be due to an increased crystallinity caused by heat treatment.
