Synthesis and Electrocatalytic Properties of Rare Earth Platinum or Palladium Bronzes

Abstract
Dysprosium platinum and palladium bronzes, DyM3X4 (M=Pt or Pd; X=O, S, Se, or Te) were synthesized, except for DyPt3S4, by a solid state technique. They were found to have a high electric conductivity with ρ=0.3–2.6×10−5Ω cm and among them, the oxide bronzes crystallized in NaxPt3O4 type structure. The platinum oxide bronzes in particular showed a high activity for the methanol electrooxidation as compared with ordinary platinum electrodes.
