Catalytic Reactions in Direct Ethanol Fuel Cells

Different anode catalysts (Pt/C, PtRu/C, Pt3Sn/C) and operating potentials lead to different product distributions in the anode exhaust of direct ethanol fuel cells, as shown by liquid‐state 13C NMR spectroscopy (see typical spectrum). Addition of Ru or Sn to Pt/C increases current density, mainly b...

Zusammenfassung:Different anode catalysts (Pt/C, PtRu/C, Pt3Sn/C) and operating potentials lead to different product distributions in the anode exhaust of direct ethanol fuel cells, as shown by liquid‐state 13C NMR spectroscopy (see typical spectrum). Addition of Ru or Sn to Pt/C increases current density, mainly because of enhanced acetic acid production, and the potential dependences of products give clues to reaction pathways of ethanol electro‐oxidation.
