A simple model is proposed to evaluate the contribution of alloyed and non-alloyed platinum and tin to the ethanol oxidation reaction on Pt-Sn/C catalysts for direct ethanol fuel cells. On the basis of the model, the ethanol oxidation on partially alloyed catalysts occurs through a dual pathway mech
