Ordered mesoporous carbon supported Ir-Fe for perferential Co oxidation

Preferential oxidation of CO (PROX) has been regarded as a promising approach to remove CO from a H2-rich stream to an acceptable level for proton exchanged membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). To this aim, development of a highly active and selective catalyst in the working temperature range of PEMFC is very important. In the present work, we for the first time show that mesoporous carbon derived from resin could be used as a good support of Ir-Fe bimetallic catalyst for the Prox reaction.Preferential oxidation of CO (PROX) has been regarded as a promising approach to remove CO from a H2-rich stream to an acceptable level for proton exchanged membrane fuel cells (PEMFC).
