Oxygen Reduction at the Pt/Carbon Black-Polyimide Ionomer Interface

Co-Assembly of Nanoparticles in Evaporating Aerosol Droplets: Preparation of Nanoporous Pt/TiO2Composite Particles

“…Such supports could have additional catalytic advantages since their open structures could facilitate the diffusion and adsorption of reactants. Activated carbon, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanosheets, and silica (SiO 2 ) gel have often been employed as supports for Pt nanoparticles in catalytic applications (Kim et al 2006;Merlo et al 2008;Li et al 2009;Miyatake et al 2009;Yoo et al 2009;Hsu et al 2010;Winjobi et al 2010). TiO 2 nanoparticles have also been used as a support material to enhance the catalytic activity of Pt (Lin et al 2008;Sarkar et al 2008;Chen and Pan 2009;Guo et al 2009;Shanmugam and Gedanken 2009b;Wen et al 2009).…”
