“…According to the previous researches, methanol can be easily oxidized at the anode, and diffused to the cathode accompanied by proton migration, thus leading to a decrease in the performance of the fuel cell. Besides, some intermediate products like CO groups, such as ‐CO ads , ‐HCHO ads , and ‐HCOOH ads and so on, will be generated during ORR processes on the electrode surface of Pt‐based catalysts, and be adsorbed on catalyst surface, thereby leading to the poisoning of Pt‐based catalysts and the degradation of catalytic activity [52,53] . Therefore, the two crucial factors, those are durability and methanol crossover effect of Pt‐based electrocatalysts, are severely limiting the wide industrial application of fuel cells, especially for the direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) [54] .…”
