AB  - Two binary Ru-Ti oxides, Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2, were synthesized by the sol-gel method and used as an electrocatalyst support. The system was characterized by XRD, EDS, TEM and cyclic voltammetry. The Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 consist of two phases of anatase and rutile structure. An average size of the Pt nanoparticles supported on them is similar to 3.5 nm and they are deposited on both Ru and Ti-rich domains. The supports exhibited good conductivity and electrochemical stability. The onset potentials of COads oxidation on the synthesized catalysts and on commercial PtRu/C are similar to each other and lower than that on Pt/C. This suggests that in Pt/Rum Ti0.9O2 and Pt/Ru0(.7)Ti(0.3)O(2) the Pt nanoparticles are in close contact with Ru atoms from the support, which enables the bifunctional mechanism. The activity and stability of the catalysts for methanol oxidation were examined under potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions. While the activity of Pt/Rum Ti0.9O2 is unsatisfactory, the performance of Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 is comparable to PtRu/C. For example, in the potentiostatic test at 0.5 V the activities after 25 min are 0.035 mA cm(-2) and 0.022 mA cm(-2) for Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 and PtRu/C, respectively. In potentiodynamic test the activities at 0.5V after 250 cycles are around 0.02 mA cm(-2) for both catalysts. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - The oxygen reduction reaction was studied at Pt nanocatalysts on two different tin oxide based supports, Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, in acid solution. Tin oxide based supports were synthesized by hydrazine reduction method. Physical characterization of the supports was performed by BET, X-ray diffraction and TEM techniques. SnO2 belonging peaks were detected in Sb-SnO2 powder, while Ru-SnO2 XRD diffraction patterns contained peaks of RuO2 and SnO2. The average crystallite sizes, determined by Scherrer equation, were 3 nm and 4 nm for Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, respectively. Pt catalysts on Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2 supports were synthesized by borohydride reduction method. TEM analysis revealed homogeneous particle size distribution, with average particle size of 2.9 and 5.4 nm, for Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, respectively. Electrocatalytic activity and stability of these catalysts for oxygen reduction were studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disk electrode (RDE). Pt catalysts on Sb and Ru doped SnO2 support exhibited catalytic activities comparable to Pt on commercial carbon based support. Stability tests were also performed. Determined small loss of electrochemical active surface area of the Pt catalyst on Sb doped tin oxide support, after repetitive cycling, indicated high stability and durability of this cathode for-prospective fuel cells application.

AB  - Platinum nanocatalysts on two tungsten based supports have been synthesized and characterized as catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4 solution, at 25 degrees C. Tungsten based support assigned WCctabr has been synthesized by polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde in the presence of CTABr surfactant. Support assigned WCwo(3) was synthesized from resorcinol/formaldehyde gel, using WO3 nanoparticles as starting material. Supporting materials have been characterized by BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller) technique and determined values of surface area were 80 m(2) g(-1) for WCctabr and 175 m(2) g(-1) for WCWO3. Platinum nanocatalysts (10% Pt) at tungsten based supports have been prepared by borohydride reduction method. Both synthesized supports and catalysts have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) techniques. Cyclic voltammetry was applied for determination of electrochemically active surface area (40 m2 g(-1) for Pt/WCWO3 and 55 m(2) g(-1) for Pt/WCctabr). Oxygen reduction reaction has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disc electrode (RDE). These catalysts exhibited better catalytic activity, expressed in terms of kinetic current density per real surface area at the constant potential and better stability, in comparison with Pt/C catalyst, as well as with already reported catalytic activity values for Pt catalysts on tungsten based supports.

AB  - Platinum nanocatalyst at nano-tungsten carbide was synthesized, characterized and tested for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.1 mol dm(-3) NaOH, at 25 degrees C. Tungsten-carbide islands on nano-tungsten particles (WC) was synthesized from gel prepared by using nanoparticles of WO3, previously produced from W-powder oxidized in H2O2. The support was porous material with high specific surface area (177 m(2)g(-1)). The WC supported Pt (10 wt.%) catalyst was prepared by borohydride reduction method. X-ray diffraction of the catalyst demonstrates successful reduction of Pt precursor to metallic form. STEM analysis of Pt/WC catalyst showed the existence of Pt particles lower than 2 nm in size, even the clusters of Pt atoms. Electrochemically active surface area of Pt was determined from adsorption/desorption charge of hydrogen atoms. Catalytic activity of the synthesized catalyst for ORR was studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disk electrode. The onset potential on Pt/WC for ORR, comparing with Pt/Vulcan, was shifted to the positive potentials for about 150 mV. Pt/WC catalyst shows one Tafel slope of -0.105 V dec(-1), remarkable catalytic activity expressed either through the value of the current density per real surface area, or through the mass activity and excellent stability.
