We investigated new types of anode catalysts for polymer membrane fule cell (PEMFC). Pt doped CeO2 thin lms were deposited by rf-magnetron sputtering on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) directly grown on GDL by using CVD. We observed considerable increase of speci c power by 1000 times and more in comparison with standard PtRu anode catalyst. For this new anode system we obtained the speci c power of 44.3 W/mg(Pt). The interaction of Pt with CeO2 layers with di erent substrates was investigated by using photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that platinum was in cationic state and the Pt2+/Pt4+ ratio was dependent of substrates materials. We also demonstrated that the performance of direct methanol fuel cell with Pt and PtRu catalyst can be dramatically increased simply by adding sodium hydroxide to methanol fuel. Cell voltage and power output characteristics were studied in dependence on current, temperature and concentration of sodium hydroxide. Endurance test was performed and the fuel cell exhibited stable response. Power density of 80.7 mW/cm2 was recorded for 2 M methanol/2 M sodium hydroxide fuel 30řC.
