The oxidation of formic acid and methanol has been stuidied on electrodes prepared by ion implanting Pt in RuO/sup 2/. Formic acid was found to oxidize readily on this catalyst without poisoning the surface. In the case of methanol no reaction was found to take place. Using XPS techniques, Pt was shown to have a lower binding energy than bulk Pt. This suggests that there is excess charge on this form of Pt which changes its reactivity.
