Bio-butanol as fuel for direct alcohol fuel cells - investigation of Sn modified Pt catalyst for butanol electro-oxidation

Direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) mostly use low molecular weight alcohols such as methanol and ethanol as fuels. However, short-chain alcohol molecules have a relative high membrane crossover rate in DAFCs and a low energy density. Long chain alcohols such as butanol have a higher energy density as...
