Аннотация:The formation of a Pt(Cu) bimetallic catalyst on the carbon support by galvanic displacement of copper electrodeposits with platinum (PtCl(6)(2-) as the displacing agent) is systematically studied. Composition, structure, and electrocatalytic properties of samples corresponding to different stages of copper displacement are analyzed. For substantially long displacement times, the formation of stable Pt(Cu)(st) particles with the atomic ratio Pt : Cu approximate to 7 : 3 is observed. The Pt(Cu)(st)/C electrodes are shown to be close to the Pt/C electrode as regards the adsorption of hydrogen and copper atoms and the specific activity in methanol oxidation (with 0.5 M H(2)SO(4) as the supporting electrolyte). Such electrocatalytic behavior of Pt(Cu)(st) particles makes it possible to infer the formation of the "core(Pt, Cu)-shell(Pt)" structure, as confirmed by the XPS data.
