Design and Optimization of Anode Catalysts for Direct Ethanol Fuel Cells:Advances and Challenges in C-C bond Activation and Selective Modulation of the C1 Pathway
摘要
Abstract
Direct ethanol fuel cells(DEFCs)are a promising alternative to conventional energy sources,offering high energy densi-ty,environmental sustainability,and operational safety.Compared to methanol fuel cells,DEFCs exhibit lower toxicity and a more mature preparation process.Unlike hydrogen fuel cells,DEFCs provide superior storage and transport feasibility,as well as cost-effectiveness,significantly enhancing their commercial viability.However,the stable C-C bond in ethanol creates a high activation energy barrier,often resulting in incomplete electrooxidation.Current commercial platinum(Pt)-and palladium(Pd)-based catalysts demonstrate low C-C bond cleavage efficiency(<7.5%),severely limiting DEFC energy output and power density.Furthermore,high catalyst costs and insufficient activity impede large-scale commercialization.Recent advances in DEFC anode catalyst design have focused on optimizing material composition and elucidating cata-lytic mechanisms.This review systematically examines developments in ethanol electrooxidation catalysts over the past five years,highlighting strategies to improve C1 pathway selectivity and C-C bond activation.Key approaches,such as alloying,nanostructure engineering,and interfacial synergy effects,are discussed alongside their mechanistic implications.Finally,we outline current challenges and future prospects for DEFC commercialization.关键词
