Anodes consisting of Pd and bimetallic PdCu catalysts deposited directly on a carbon cloth by magnetron sputtering have been tested in a direct formic acid fuel cell. Current-voltage measurements showed that a bimetallic Pd-based catalyst temperature-treated to 300° C exhibits the highest catalytic activity. Chemical and structural information from the surface of the catalysts was revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Increasing the temperature of the anode together with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment of the catalyst surface was proposed as an additional treatment method. In this method, the highest catalytic activity was achieved for a monometallic Pd catalyst.
