Abstract
⺠Mesoporous carbon CSRF was synthesized via organic-organic self-assembly. ⺠Microporous carbon CPEG was produced using poly ethylene glycol as the pore former. ⺠High BET specific surface area and large total pore volume were obtained on CSRF. ⺠Pt/CSRF showed higher catalytic activity towards methanol oxidation than Pt/Vulcan. ⺠CPEG was found an incompetent methanol oxidation electrocatalyst support.
