Research in low temperature fuel cell reactions has mainly focused on the study of platinum, and/or platinum based materials.1-23 These studies have also been aimed at understanding the fundamentals of the electrode/electrolyte interfacial behavior, in order to optimize the catalytic properties of such materials.1,3,7,17,20,24-33 The reason why most of these studies have been devoted to platinum is evident: this material is the best catalyst, especially for processes occurring at the anode and cathode of low temperature fuel cells (FC).
