Abstract

Methanol and ethanol, having high energy density, likely production from renewable sources, and ease of storage and distribution, are ideal combustibles for fuel cells wherein their chemical energy can be converted directly into electrical energy. However, the slow, incomplete oxidation of methanol and ethanol on platinum-based anodes as well as the high price and limited reserves of platinum has hampered the practical application of direct alcohol fuel cells. Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to developing high-activity electrocatalysts. This chapter presents an overview of the recent progress in methanol and ethanol electrocatalysis on platinum-based materials, with special attention focused on the research effort to reduce platinum content.
