In the present investigation, we applied polyol process technique to synthesize the cerium-promoted PtRu/MWNTs electrocstslysts. Basic-based electrolyte revealed lower onset potential value and the higher current density in comparison with that of acidic-based. Furthermore, comparingthe electrooxidation of methanol presents higher activity than the one of ethanol. Chronoamperometry measurements also confirms higher stabilities for the basic electrolyte and methanol medium
