title = "Key issues to the preparation of methanol-tolerant cathode catalyst for DMFC",
abstract = "Platinum is by far the best catalyst for the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in DMFC However, the performance of Pt only catalyst has not reached a status set forth for the commercialization of DMFC The most serious problem to the cathode catalyst is mainly caused by the methanol crossover from the anode through the membrane. Methanol undergoes oxidation reaction at the cathode because Pt is one of the most active methanol oxidation catalysts. Mixed-potential due to cathodic methanol oxidation is detrimental to the performance of the cathode catalyst. Furthermore, incomplete oxidation of methanol also resulted in the accumulation of CO on the Pt surface. This CO poisoning effect greatly reduces the availability of Pt active site needed for the cathodic ORR. Active and methanol tolerant cathode catalyst is desperately needed to combat the adverse effect brought along by crossover methanol. The objective of this paper is to investigate the key issues for the preparation of catalyst with both high ORR activity and methanol tolerance.",
