Issue:11 Journal:Contemporary Chemical Industry Keyword:Direct methanol fuel cell; Anode catalyst; Methanol electro-oxidation; Abstract:The anode catalyst is one of the key materials for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). Pd is more suitable than Pt as a kind of anode catalyst due to its relatively low cost and abundance on the earth. In this paper, Pd-based catalysts for electro-oxidation of methanol in alkaline media were reviewed, and the development of the catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation was prospected.
