Vertically oriented polypyrrole nanowire arrays on Pd-plated Nation~R membrane and its application in direct methanol fuel cells

摘要

A Highly ordered polypyrrole nanowire arrays are constructed via electrochemically polymerizing pyrrole directly on Pd-modified Nation~R membrane. A significant enhancement in the performance and durability of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) is observed when such an ordered structure is used as an ordered electrode.
