摘要：
The potential of cup-stacked-type carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) as a catalyst support for the direct methanol fuel cells has been investigated by the electrochemical oxidation of methanol at various temperatures. The CSCNT-supported platinum-ruthenium (Pt-Ru) bimetallic catalyst exhibited twice as high a power density as the Pt-Ru catalyst supported on Vulcan XC-72 carbon, which is widely used as a catalyst support for the DMFC electrodes. The microscopic analysis of the CSCNT-supported Pt-Ru catalysts revealed that the bimetallic electrocatalysts were well dispersed on the CSCNT supports, and the particle size of the electrocatalysts was ca. 5 nm. The results of this work indicate that the performance of the carbon support materials is largely influenced by their electrical properties, morphology and crystallographic structures.
