The use of alcohols, especially ethanol, in fuel cells present great appeal in present days, since ethanol energy conversion in fuel cell can be more efficient than direct combustion and it can be obtained from the renewable biomass. Alternatively, ethanol can be reformed catalytically to produce hydrogen to be used in fuel cell as well. In both cases, catalytic materials are necessary to…

The purpose of this project is the preparation of platinum ruthenium bimetallic catalysts by chloroplatinic acid reduction by dissolved hydrogen under sonication of a high surface area carbon suspension. Preliminary studies show that by sonicating the suspension it is possible to obtain platinum and ruthenium solid mixtures at any atomic concentration, in contrast with chloroplatinic redu…
