Japanese developed direct methanol fuel cells new-type catalysts
A kyushu university team developed a direct methanol fuel cells with new catalyst, the catalyst can provide with existing catalyst same properties, but platinum-based amount has been reduced by 50%.
This research is the ultimate goal of the catalyst platinum content of reduced to existing content 1/4, for small direct methanol fuel cells development opened the gate.
This new type of catalyst used in direct methanol fuel cells fuel electrode (electrode), fuel by carbon nanofibers constitute, platinum-based quantity is 40%. The diameter of carbon nanofibers for 7-20nm, around covered small holes, such as platinum catalytic reaction with a large surface area.
