| Abstract: | FexC–C hybrid material as a support for Pt anode catalyst in direct formic acid fuel cell was investigated for the first time. The resultant Pt/FexC–C catalysts were prepared by using a simple reduction reaction to load Pt on FexC–C hybrid material, which was synthesized through the carbonization of sucrose and Fe(NO3)3. It was found that the Pt/FexC–C catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic activity for formic acid electrooxidation. The great improvement in the catalytic performance is attributed to the fact that FexC–C hybrid material ameliorated the tolerance to CO adsorption of Pt and facilitated the uniform dispersion of Pt. |
