The orderof addition of the Pt and Sn precursors and KBr was crucial to obtain cubic Pt particles and a SnO2phasewith small particle sizes highly dispersed on the carbon support. Electrochemical and DEFC experimentsshowed that Pt + SnO2/C electrocatalyst containing Pt nanoparticles with preferential (100) orientationprovided superior activity for EOR, power densities and CO2selectivity compared to Pt + SnO2/C electro-catalyst containing Pt polycrystalline.91-100openAccesselectrocatalystssynthesisplatinumtin oxidescarbonfuel cellsdirect ethanol fuel cellspotassium bromidespolycrystalsArtigo de periódico21810.1016/j.apcatb.2017.06.031https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7011-8261https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9287-607196.45
