Carbon supported Au-PtRu (Au-PtRu/C) catalysts were prepared as the anodic catalysts for the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The procedure involved simple deposition of Au particles on a commercial Pt-Ru/C catalyst, followed by heat treatment of the resultant composite catalyst at 125, 175 and 200
A pure Pt cathode catalyst in direct methanol fuel cells is not only favored for oxygen reduction but also for the unwanted oxidation of methanol that permeates from the anode. Based on the idea that alloying another metal can alter the surface structure of Pt and hence reduce the active sites for
## Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) was pioneered by Shell Research in England and Exxon-Alsthom in France during the 1960s and 1970s [1]. DMFC as a kind of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been receiving increasing attention because of its advantages of easy transportation, storage
