The PER-FC polarization curves for Pd90Sb10/C presented maximum current density about 0.92 mW cm-2 about 15% higher than PdSb materials. However, the material Pd50Sb50/C showed higher reaction rate for methanol generation than the other materials occurring close to the OCV (r ~ 7 mol L-1 h-1). The qualitative analyses of PER-FC effluent by FT-IR identified products as methanol, carbonate and formate ions from the partial oxidation of methane for all materials.1-8openAccessantimonycatalystscogenerationcurrent densityelectrolytic cellsfourier transformationfuel cellsmethanemethanoloxidationpalladiumArtigo de periódico2510.1590/1980-5373-MR-2021-05420000-0001-8745-3421https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9287-607119.440.5
