Mathematical model representing a catalytic effect
of a nanocrystal mixture of metallic platinum and
ruthenium dioxide for electrooxidation of methanol
is established. Dependance of a current density of
the methanol electrooxidation on the chemical
composition and size of nanocrystals is determined
in the model. A good agreement between theoretical
values and experimental results corroborates that
electrooxidation of methanol is guided by a
bifunctional mechanism. The model is based on the fact that the catalytic effect is proportional to the length of the contact border
between nanocrystals of metallic platinum and nanocrystals of ruthenium dioxide. Ru-OH particles are formed on the Ru atoms at the
border of crystal grains, at potentials more negative than on platinum. These species oxidize firmly bound intermediates COad located
on the adjacent Pt atoms and thus release the Pt atoms for adsorption and dehydrogenation of subsequent molecules of methanol.
