Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes in the early 1990s [273] there has been emerging interest in their applicability as catalyst supports for low-temperature PEMFCs. Recently, Lee et al. reviewed the area of Pt electrocatalyst preparation techniques using carbon nanotubes and nanofibers as supports [274]. Here, the emphasis will be on the impact of novel nanostructured carbon supports (ordered mesoporous materials, nanotubes, and nanofibers) on the electrocatalytic activity with respect to direct fuel cell anodes.

The following order of activity for methanol electro-oxidation was observed for PtRu/C electrocatalysts prepared with different carbon sources cellulose > starch > glucose. Some studies have been shown that mesoporous carbons are very active as supports of electrocatalysts for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell [3,4],...
