In this study, substoichiometric titanium oxide, TinO2n–1, was compared with carbon black and TiO2 in the role of catalyst supports for Pd in alkaline direct ethanol fuel cell. 10%Pd/C, 10% Pd/commercial TiO2 and 10%Pd/TinO2n–1 catalysts were successfully prepared by a polyol method. The supports an...
