Recently, several nanostructured carbons, such as carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers and ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs), have been exploited as new carbon supports for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) catalysts to enhance the catalytic activities of DMFC electrode reactions. Among a variety of nanostructured carbons, in particular, the OMCs are highly intriguing as support materials for DMFC, due to their high surface area, uniform mesopore, and high thermal and chemical stabilities. In this presentation, the effects of structural and physical characteristics of OMC supports on the performance of OMC supported catalysts will be presented. |
