This paper shows that the combination of an O 2 saturated acidic fluid setup (O 2 -setup) and a composite of Pd nanoparticles supported on multiwalled-carbon nanotubes (Pd/MWCNTs) as anode catalyst material, results in the improvement of microfluidic fuel cell performance. Microfluidic fuel cells we
Pd nanoparticles supported on the WO 3 /C hybrid are prepared by a two-step procedure and the catalysts are studied for the electrooxidation of formic acid. For the purpose of comparison, phosphotungstic acid (PWA) and sodium tungstate are used as the precursor of WO 3 . Both the Pd-WO 3 /C catalyst
