We have demonstrated a new, cost effective synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotube supported Pt–Fe core–shell alloy catalyst (Pt–Fe/SWNT) for the direct methanol fuel cell using galvanic exchange reaction. The Pt–Fe/SWNTs have shown much larger Pt active surface area (150m2/g-Pt) than the commercial catalyst (54m2/g-Pt). Furthermore, four-fold enhancement of catalytic activity of the Pt–Fe/SWNTs for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has been observed. This catalyst has also demonstrated its tolerance to methanol in ORR.
