Abstract
We present results of a rotating disk electrode (RDE) study on the electro-oxidation of CO contaminated H2 feed gas (100 ppm - 2%) over a Vulcan supported Pt3Sn catalyst, applying a newly developed thin-film RDE method for the measurement of high surface area catalysts. Measurements under fuel cell relevant conditions (steady state, continuous gas flow, 60°C) show a significantly improved CO tolerance as compared to state-of-the-art Pt and Pt0.5Ru0.5 anode catalysts, with an overpotential of 230 mV for 250 ppm and only 170 mV for 100 ppm CO/H2 at a mass-specific current density of 0.5A/mgmetal, respectively.
