Abstract
One way of improving the electrocatalytic properties of materials, which consists of modification of electrode surfaces by foreign metal adatoms, can be successfully applied in practical fuel cells. Foreign metal adatoms, used to modify the catalytic properties of electrodes, are formed by under-potential deposition. They can considerably catalyse the reactions of interest for electrochimical energy conversion, such as the oxidation of organic molecules and oxygen reduction. The illustration of catalytic effects and the explanation of their origin are presented. The application of these effects in fuel cells is discussed.
