In the present scenario, civilization wholly depends on energy generation and storage for better technological progress and extension in several scientific applications. Due to limited conventional energy sources and high energy requirement; absolute, cost-effective, and eco-friendly substitute roots of energy are of the principal interest. In this direction, direct alcohol fuel cell (DAFC) is becoming more familiar and promising due to its straightforward configuration system, weight and elevated power generation efficiency. Indeed, recent years have seen extensive research on the preparation and properties of the fuel cell system. The literature review presented in this article provides comprehensive information on electro-oxidation of alcohol developed on different type of electro-catalyst. The integration of a range of nanomaterials is depicted, in order to comprehend the effect of different properties such as a well-ordered porous structure, exemplary high specific surface areas, electronic conductivity, tremendous convenience to active sites, and improved mass
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.
