Stable metal oxides insoluble in acidic medium have been prepared and characterized. The influence of the type of metal oxide (MO x ) on the activity of Pt towards ethylene glycol oxidation in acidic medium has been examined. All modified Pt/MO x /glassy carbon (GC) electrodes exhibited a better activity compared to Pt/GC. While Pt/SnO 2 /GC electrode exhibited the highest activity, Pt/CeO 2 /GC revealed the best tolerance against poisoning process.
