(Pt–Ru) nanoparticles were deposited on high mesoporous carbon aerogels (CAs).
(Pt–Ru)/CAs were characterized by TEM, EDX, SAED and N2 adsorption-desorption.
Carbon paste electrodes modified with (Pt–Ru)/CA were used for CH3OH oxidation.
(Pt–Ru, 10%)/CA535-CPE exhibited the highest maximum current density ever reported.
