Electrodes for direct oxidation of methanol in fuel cells fabricated in process involving room-temperature electro-chemical deposition of platinum-alloy catalysts on commercially available high-surface-area carbon support structures containing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Process takes 30 to 50 minutes and results in electrodes catalytically active as prepared; no need for additional activation step. Composition of catalytic platinum alloy and sizes of particles in catalytic layers on electrodes varied by changing operating conditions during electrodeposition; process affords additional flexibility in design of electrocatalysts.
