Abstract
In this paper development of anodic materials for anion-exchange membrane direct alcohol fuel cells (AEM-DAFC) using methanol or ethylene glycol as fuels is reported. In this regard, different PdM/C electrocatalysts (where M = Ag, Ni) were synthesized and characterized for both fuels. After that, it was possible to verify that the synthesized catalysts achieve high performance with both fuels in single cell tests. Finally concepts for ionomeric binders will be introduced which are supposed to allow a later operation of the cell without added bases.
