Abstract

High over potential of proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) anode caused by carbon monnoxide poisoning when reformate or methanol is used as fuel is main obstacle to the high performance of PEMFCs.Using carbon monoxide tolerant catalysts is the most hopeful way to solve the CO problem.The CO poisoning problem is reviewed briefly in this paper,and the development of CO tolerant catalysts is introduced in details, including electrocatalysts activity, preparation method and mechanism of tolerance to CO.Mo and W can improve catalysts' CO tolerance.Multi component catalysts are expected to be more tolerant to CO.

Keywords
