This paper covers our investigation into a decline in productivity resulting from hydrogen fuel containing impurities in methanol reforming type fuel cells. Here, Various experiments and analyses were conducted to determine the adverse effect of CO, CH_4,HCHO and HCOOH poisoning on the performance of FC, and investigations into poisoning on dependence of the type of catalyst electrodes between Pt and Pt-Ru alloy were carried out. As the results, CO poisoning can be decreased by adding Ru onto catalyst electrodes. However, we confirmed that the performance became worse about two times by adding Ru as for HCHO and HCOOH poisoning.
