The research team summarized the latest trends in the platinum-based metal catalyst and catalyst support used in the anode of the direct methanol fuel cell, the subject of this paper. Problems of the existing platinum catalysts and platinum-ruthenium catalysts are pointed out, and platinum or platinum-ruthenium-based two- and three-component metal catalysts that are being recently researched and developed worldwide are comparatively analyzed. We showed the evaluation of electrochemical properties of platinum-based metal catalysts according to catalyst types such as nanowire, nanotube, nanoflower, nanorod, and nanocube.
In order to compensate for the shortcomings of the platinum-based metal catalyst, a description of the non-platinum-based metal catalyst, which is being researched recently, and a characteristic analysis according to the catalyst type were conducted. In addition, various synthesis methods for synthesizing metal catalysts were investigated and analyzed, and structures capable of exhibiting the highest performance as a direct methanol fuel cell catalyst through the two-, three-, and four-component core-shell structures of platinum-based and non-platinum-based metal catalysts. has been described.
As the second topic, the characteristics of each catalyst support were explained, and the surface treatment to improve the catalyst support performance and polymer catalyst supports such as polyaniline and polypyrrole were summarized. Structural and electrochemical analysis results were collected for RuO2, SnO2, CeO2, WO3, TiO2, MnO2, IrO2, etc. as an oxide metal support together with previously used carbon-based graphene, carbon nanotube, and graphite.
Professor Yoon's research team concluded by suggesting a future development direction for metal catalysts and catalyst supports for improving the performance of direct methanol fuel cells and commercializing direct methanol fuel cells.
