Abstract
A method is featured for fabricating Carbon-supported AuPt nanoparticle catalysts for fuel cells, and particularly fuel cells using methanol as the fuel. The method prepares AuPt-based fuel cell catalysts having a wide range of controllable Au:Pt ratios. The AuPt catalysis are supportable on both carbon black (C) and C/TiOsupport materials. These materials demonstrate electro-catalytic activity towards CO and methanol oxidation, and Oreduction. The same catalyst material is useful in constructing both anodes and cathodes, and demonstrates bifunctional activity.
