Formic acid oxidation intermetallics

Considerable progress has been made in the development of supported Pt-based catalysts for formic acid oxidation, with a variety of Pt alloy, intermetallic, and surface-modified catalysts showing impressive increases in performance relative to Pt/C. The use of Au, Bi, Pb, or Sb as the second metal has been shown to be particularly beneficial, although it is not clear yet whether any of these metals combined with Pt will provide sufficient long-term durability, nor which type of modification of the Pt stmcture (alloy, intermetallic, or surface modified) is most suitable.
