The catalysts on carbon nanofibers with various platinum contents were synthesized. The morphology, resistance to oxidation, and electrochemical behavior of the catalysts in the reactions that occur in fuel cells were studied. The dependence of the specific output of cathodes of hydrogen—air fuel cells on the sizes of the platinum clusters was established.
