It should be noted that the specific PtRu stoichiometry of 6:4 was not chosen deliberately, but rather resulted as a byproduct from the optimization of the library design in order to accomodate the desired 36 ternary compositions. The optimal Pt/Ru ratio for methanol oxidation is still not well established (see ref 6) even though Pt/Ru 1:1 is used most widely. Pt/Ru 1: 1 and Pt/Ru 6:4 were synthesized and tested side by side on separate material libraries where Pt/Ru 1:1 was found to be slightly more active. Because this study is interested in activity improvements of a much larger scale, the Pt/Ru ratio of 6:4 served as an acceptable alloy standard catalyst.
