Direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) have become an important technology and a clean energy source for various applications. However, some drawbacks in DFAFC applications, such as sluggish kinetics of formic acid oxidation (FAO) reaction at the anodic side, significantly affect DFAFC performance....
