In this study, we investigated the suppression of potential oscillations that occur while feeding H2gas including a large amount of CO to polymer electrolyte fuel cells. A carbon‐supported Pt–Ru alloy (Pt–Ru/C) sample was prepared by the polygonal barrel‐sputtering method. Electrochemical measurement was conducted in 1 N H2SO4electrolyte solution saturated with H2gas including CO of 1,000 ppm. From the measurement, it was found that the prepared Pt–Ru/C sample showed higher CO tolerance than a commercially available sample, and therefore, potential oscillations in the case of the prepared sample occurred for slightly longer intervals. Additional samples were prepared by sputtering different amounts of Ru on the prepared Pt–Ru/C sample, and it was observed that the average interval of potential oscillations increased with the amount of Ru. This result suggests that in the case of the polygonal barrel‐sputtering method, Ru plays an important role in suppressing potential oscillations and influences the CO tolerance of Pt–Ru/C.
