The high cost of production of pure hydrogen to be used as fuel for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in fuel cells makes attractive use hydrogen generated by reforming fossil fuels. However, the hydrogen generated by reforming contains contaminants such as CO, which adsorb strongly on the surface of the anodic platinum catalyst, strongly affecting the hydrogen oxidation process. Therefore, the study of new catalysts more resistant to such contamination or finding other mechanisms that may contribute to a better perform of the fuel cell, particularly the PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell, here Nafion ® 115 from DuPont), are still necessary.
