Extremely stable platinum-amorphous carbon electrocatalyst within hollow graphitized carbon nanofibers for the oxygen reduction reactionTools Gimenez-Lopez, Maria del Carmen, Kurtoglu, Abdullah, Walsh, Darren A. and Khlobystov, Andrei N. (2016) Extremely stable platinum-amorphous carbon electrocatalyst within hollow graphitized carbon nanofibers for the oxygen reduction reaction. Advanced Materials, 28 (41). pp. 9103-9108. ISSN 1521-4095 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractUnprecedented electrochemical stabilization of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) is presented, upon insertion into shortened hollow graphitized carbon nanofibers (PtNP@S-GNF) toward the oxygen-reduction reaction for fuel-cell applications. In contrast to that observed for a commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst, the specific activity and the electrochemical surface area for PtNP@S-GNF remain practically unchanged during durability tests after 50 000 potential cycles, allowing the sustainable use of Pt.
