Abstract A carbon supported Pt-SnO2/C catalyst was prepared by hydrothermal method The Pt-SnO2/C electrode was prepared by electrostatic spinning. Factors of product in solution, different Nafion loading and different loading of Pt-SnO2/C catalyst were evaluated for their effects on ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). Electrocatalyst was characterized by SEM,EDS and XRD. At the same time, Electrocatalyst was tested by cyclic voltammetry (CV), Chronoamperometry, AC impedance at three-electrode under similar conditions to those of the DEFC. The results show that the Nafion loadings was 7.5wt.%, which the loading amount of Pt was 1.5mg.cm(-2), the Pt-SnO2/C electrode has the highest activity for ethanol oxidation. Compared to the low potential, the oxidation peak current density was 2 times high obtained.
