South African Institute for Advanced Materials Chemistry, 66, 17-200379-4350http://hdl.handle.net/10566/2547A multi-walled carbon nanotube-supported, Pt decorated nano-sized amorphous PdCu alloy cores (denoted as Pt@PdCu/CNT) catalyst with lower Pt loading is synthesized via a galvanic displacement reaction. The structure is examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electrochemical activity of the Pt@PdCu/CNT catalyst is tested by cyclic voltammogrametry (CV) and compared to that of PtRu/CNT catalysts. The results show that amorphous Pt@PdCu/CNT catalyst exhibits better electro-catalytic performances for methanol oxidation than its crystalline counterpart.enAll the contents of this journal, except where otherwise noted, is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution LicenseAmorphousDecorated structuredPt@PdCu/CNTElectrocatalystMethanol oxidationArticle
