Binary systems of ruthenium sulfide or selenide nanoparticles (RujcSy, RujcSey) are considered as the state-of-the-art ORR electrocatalysts in the class of non-Chevrel amorphous transition metal chalcogenides. Notably, in contrast to pyrite-type MS2 varieties (typically RUS2) utilized in industrial catalysis as effective cathodes for the molecular oxygen reduction in acid medium, these Ru-based cluster materials exhibit a fairly robust activity even in high methanol content environments of fuel cells.

Figure 16.7 Specific activity for oxygen reduction at 0.3 V vs. RHE on carbon- and titania-supported Au nanoparticles [Guerin et al., 2006b] (a) C/Au (b) TiO /Au. In the case of TiO c/Au (b), results are shown for data obtained on arrays of electrodes (O) and on rotating disk electrodes (RDE) (A).

Oxygen reduction on both carbon- and titania-supported Au exhibits a similar dependence on particle size to that observed for Pt, namely, a decrease in activity with decreasing particle size. This decrease occurs at particle sizes below about 3 nm. In addition to the decrease in activity, a small increase in activity is also observed for titania-supported Au nanoparticles.
