Abstract: Carbon supported Pt-M(M=Ni, Fe, Mo) catalysts were prepared with colloidal method. The catalysts were characterized by TEM and XRD, and the activities of different catalysts were measured via the cyclic voltammetry under an alkaline condition for methanol electro-catalytic oxidation. The results show that Pt-based alloys are distributed homogeneously on carbon, the particle sizes are about 2—4 nm, and the activities order of Pt-based alloys is Pt75Ni25/C>Pt75Fe25/C>Pt50Mo50/C. The doping of Ni in the nano-particles of Pt was able to markedly enhance the catalytic activities of Pt/C, and the peak current of Pt75Ni25/C catalyst reached 726.9 mA/mg in 1.0 mol/L NaOH+1.0 mol/L CH3OH solution in this experiment.
