Abstract

Results of research on the development of platinum-free cathode PdM (M = Co or Fe) and anode catalysts PdM (M = Ru, Mo, Au) and RuM (M = Co, Ni, Fe), deposited onto disperse carbon material, are presented. The developed catalysts are shown to be practically feasible for membrane electrode assemblies for low-temperature hydrogen-air and ethanol-air fuel cells. A platinum-free alkaline ethanol-air fuel cell is first developed.
