Latest researches in electrocatalysts for low temperature fuel cell application

This paper reviews the developments of electrocatalysts for low temperature fuel cell,including proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) and direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC),especially several new preparation technologies and methods for preparation of highly-dispersed and highly-active electrocatalysts emerging in recent years,as well as researches in low-platinum or platinum-free electrocatalyst.Some fundamental researches in this aspect were outlined,too.
