Metal-modified carbide anode electrocatalysts

Studies of the clean and Pt-modified carburized W single crystals provided a fundamental understanding of how methanol decomposition proceeds under UHV conditions. These studies suggest that tungsten carbide-based electrocatalysts, especially metal-modified tungsten carbides, are promising anode catalyst materials to replace Pt in the DMFC. These conclusions are further examined on more applicable polycrystalUne foils. These foils are better representations of the complex morphology...
