A fuel cell electrode comprises platinum and at least one of the oxides of molybdenum and/or tungsten, in an amount of at least 5 weight per cent, preferably less than 70 weight per cent, based on the total amount of platinum and oxide. The oxide may be WO 2.00 , W0 2 . 50 , W0 0 . 60 , W0 2 . 98 , W0 2 . 00 , MoO a or cobalt molybdate or other double compound of an oxide of molybdenum or tungsten with an oxide of another metal. A binder, e.g. polytetrafluoroethylene, may be used. The electrode may be used in a cell where the fuel gas contains carbon monoxide and is resistant to poisoning by carbon monoxide. Examples are given.
