Investigation of the carbon monoxide resistance of platinum catalysts prepared via pulse alternating current technique

The platinum catalysts based on carbon black and carbon nanotubes supports have been obtained via pulse alternating current technique. The synthesized Pt/C catalysts showed better electric transport characteristics and the carbon monoxide poisoning resistance in comparison with the commercial Pt/C owing to both the size of the platinum nanoparticles and their agglomeration on the support surface, and the morphology of the carbon support.
