High alcohol tolerance : A Pt/CoSe 2 nanobelt cathode catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells was prepared by in situ loading of Pt nanoparticles on CoSe 2 /diethylenetriamine nanobelts through a polyol reduction approach. The resulting functionalized nanobelts (see picture) exhibit high activity in the four‐electron oxygen reduction reaction and are highly methanol tolerant.
