PSI Technologies proposes to apply a novel pulse current catalyzation (PCC) technique to the development of a high-utilization anode for direct methanol proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Previous work has demonstrated that their preparation technique results in low-loaded, high-utilization electrocatalysts with equivalent performance to platinum black in hydrogen/oxygen fuel cells. They expect these PCC electrodes to have significant cost and performance benefits over state-of-the-art catalysts which will make the electrodes attractive for use in methanol fueled PEM fuel cells for transportation applications.

PSI Technologies提出将一种新的脉冲电流催化(PCC)技术应用于直接甲醇质子交换膜(PEM)燃料电池的高利用率阳极的开发。以前的工作已经证明，它们的制备技术可以得到低负载、高利用率的电催化剂，其性能与氢/氧燃料电池中的铂黑相当。他们预计，与最先进的催化剂相比，这些PCC电极将具有显著的成本和性能优势，这将使这些电极在运输应用中的甲醇燃料PEM燃料电池中具有吸引力。
