It is essential to develop high performance Pt electrocatalysts and to reduce the amounts used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Design of high performance cathode alloy catalysts for O2 reduction and anode alloy catalysts for highly CO-tolerant H2 oxidation as well as direct CH3OH oxidation will be introduced, based on the results investigated by our group. Problems accompanied with practical catalysts highly dispersed on carbon black supports and some solutions to the problems will also be discussed.
