abstract = {In operando Ru K edge X-ray absorption spectra were
recorded at various cell voltages from specific regions of a
direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), such as methanol inlet,
outlet and middle regions. From the linear combination
fitting analysis, it was found that $50\%$ of the Ru in the
pristine Pt/Ru catalyst is in an oxidized form that matches
with hydrated ruthenium oxide (RuO2·xH2O). During the DMFC
cycling, fraction of this oxide phase gets reduced and forms
metallic Ru. Furthermore, it is observed that under normal
DMFC operation at various cell voltages relatively a higher
amount of RuO2 phase is present at the methanol inlet
compared to the methanol outlet. This difference in the
amount of RuO2 phase observed translates into inhomogeneous
distribution of potential/current within a single cell. The
amount of RuO2 phase increased further when the DMFC was
subjected to fuel starvation conditions (very high anode
potential). Again compared to the methanol outlet region, a
higher amount of RuO2 phase was found at the methanol inlet.
As RuO2 is more prone to dissolution compared to metallic
Ru, it can be concluded that methanol inlet region is more
prone to Ru dissolution compared to methanol outlet region.},
