| Research Abstract |
The highly dispersed nanoparticles of Pt-Fe and Pt-Cu electrocatalysts on carbon supports were prepared by reverse micelle method. It was found that their electrocatalytic activities for oxygen reduction reaction were fairly high compared with commercially available standard samples. The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) showed improved fuel cell performance when these electrocatalysts were used as cathode electrode.
