    摘要: Methanol tolerant catalyst material containing membrane electrode assemblies and fuel cells prepared therewith are provided. A substrate is coated with an electrocatalyst coating composition that includes a methanol tolerant catalyst obtained by mixing together: (1) organometallic clusters containing (i) a carbonyl group or a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon ligand group, and (ii) a chalcogen containing group selected from MnFepXm, MnXm, MnClpXm, or mixtures thereof wherein M=Pt, Ru or Re, X=S, Se or Te, and m, n and p=1 or 2, (2) an electrically conductive component, and (3) an organic solvent, such that the clusters are adsorbed on the electrically conductive component; subsequently removing the solvent; and in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, heat-treating of the clusters adsorbed on the electrically conductive component at a temperature of at least 175° C. These coated substrates make good materials for use in positive electrodes in direct methanol fuel cells because the catalysts are tolerant towards methanol action after methanol crossover.
