Significance of wall number on the carbon nanotube support-promoted electrocatalytic activity of Pt NPs towards methanol/formic acid oxidation reactions in direct alcohol fuel cells

For the first time it has been demonstrated that number of walls in pristine carbon nanotube (CNT) supports has significant effects on the electrocatalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) towards methanol and formic acid oxidation reactions in alkaline solution, showing a distinctive volcano-type...
