This research is aimed to improve the utilization and activity of anodic catalysts for ethanol electrooxidation. The direct ethanol fuel cell anodic catalysts, PtRuNi/C and PtRu/C, were prepared by chemical reduction method. Their performances were tested by using a glassy carbon disk electrode through cyclic voltammetric curves, chronoamperometric curves, and amperometric i−t curves in a solution of 0.5 mol/L CH3CH2OH and 0.5 mol/L H2SO4. The particle size, lattice parameter, composition, micro-morphology, and surface states of metals in the PtRuNi and PtRu surface particles were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), respectively. XRD analysis showed that both of the catalysts exhibited face-centered cubic structures and had smaller lattice parameters than did Pt/C catalyst. Their sizes are relatively small, about 3.0 nm. Their size distribution of the metal nanopartic...
