Abstract
Methanol is one of the chemical compounds utilized in fuel cells. The direct methanol fuelcell (DMFC) can be applied in many devices such as light electric vehicles and field equipment. Such a fuel cell is characterized by its high fuel energy density and low pollution. Despite many advantages of DMFCs, they are not commercially available, as the most efficient catalyst, which can be used in this process, has not been develope d yet. Traditionally, itwas platinum that was used in these fuel cells which is expensive and susceptible to COpoisoning. The solution to this is the use of bimetallic catalysts such as a Ni-Pt system. In this study, we used a sintered Ni-Pt electrode as the anode for the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol. Based on our results, the sintered Ni-Pt electrodes exhibited much higheractivity in the oxidation of methanol, when compared with some conventional anodes.
