Abstract

Anode catalysts of methanol oxidation for direct methanol fuel cell, pt/C andPtRu/C,were prepared by chemical reduction in this work.The results indicated that the PtRu/Cshowed higher electrocatalytic activity than that of Pt/C. It was explained by XRD and XPS analysesthat the existence of Ru enhanced the catalytic activity for electrochemical oxidation of methanol.

Keywords
