Abstract

Carbon nanotube-supported surface dealloyed PtCo nanoparticles are synthesized as highly active glycerol oxidation catalysts via a facile surfactant and thermo free process. The direct crude glycerol anion exchange membrane fuel cell using this nanocomposite as the anode catalyst (0.5 mg_Pt cm⁻²) can achieve a peak power density of 268.5 mW cm⁻² at 80 °C and ambient pressure.
