Three-dimensional DMFC anodes were prepared by galvanostatic electrodeposition of PtRu(Mo) catalytic particles onto compressed graphite felt in the presence of the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100. The Mo containing catalyst yielded higher power densities at 343 K and 353 K compared to PtRu, while utilizing about 50 % lower Pt and total catalyst loadings. The 3D anode design with PtRu catalyst yielded improved performance compared to a commercially available gas diffusion electrode with approximately equal Pt loading (~26 g m -2 ); i.e. at 3000 A m -2 and 333 K the power density was increased by ~38 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
