摘要
The ordered arrays of carbon nanofibers (CNF) and disordered arrays of CNF (DCNF) were used as catalyst supports for Pt50-Ru50 catalyst to prepare anode electrode materials. They were found to be excellent catalyst supports, which significantly increased the performance of methanol oxidation in DMFC. CNF revealed higher catalytic activity in the fuel cell performance than commercial E-TEK catalyst. The DCNF-supported Pt-Ru catalyst exhibited higher electrocatalytic activity than the OCNFs-supported Pt-Ru catalyst.
