Article Summary: “The Effect of Carbonate and pH on Hydrogen Oxidation and Oxygen Reduction on Pt-Based Electrocatalysts in Alkaline Media” (2016)
In the article by Samuel St. John et al. the authors examined the effects of pH and carbonate on the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with Ru-Pt alloy catalysts and compared this against Pt monometallic catalyst. Ru-Pt alloys are of interest because they are the best performing HOR catalysts for alkaline …
