MEMBRANE COMPRISING AN ELECTROCATALYST CONTAINING PALLADIUM AND RUTHENIUM

摘要

An electrocatalyst, suitable for use in a fuel cell and especially useful in the anode of a direct methanol fuel cell, is disclosed. The electrocatalyst comprises an alloy having a single crystalline phase, wherein the alloy consists of 5-95at% palladium, 5-95at% ruthenium and less than 10at% of other metals, provided that the alloy does not consist of 50at% palladium and 50at% ruthenium.
