| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Pt oxide thin film prepared by reactive sputtering showed 30 times larger ethanol oxidation activity than the Pt thin film. Thus, the Pt oxide is very promising material for the DEFC anode. The high ethanol oxidation activity could maintain until 10 wt.% of Cu substitution for Pt. The superiority of the Pt oxide against Pt was recognized in the DEFC discharge test.
