Abstract
The catalytic activity of PtRu colloid nanoparticles for CO oxidation is investigated in microfabricated reactors. The measured catalytic performance describes a volcano curve as a function of the Pt/Ru ratio. The apparent activation energies for the different alloy catalysts are between 21 and 117 kJ/mol, which agree well with literature. The size distribution of the colloid nanoparticles is determined from STM and TEM, from which an average size of the colloid nanoparticles of 2.2 +/- 0.5 nm is determined.
