Ordered mesoporous tungsten carbide/carbon composites promoted Pt catalyst with high activity and stability for methanol electrooxidation

Ordered mesoporous tungsten carbide/carbon composites have been successfully synthesized by combing the hydrothermal reaction and the hard-template method and platinized by a pulse microwave assisted polyol technique, which exhibiting superior performance to the commercial PtRu@C for methanol electrooxidation.
