Fast growth of Au-Pt bimetallic nanoparticles on SWCNTs: Composition dependent electrocatalytic activity towards glucose and hydrogen peroxide

Fast growth of Au-PtNPs on SWCNTs was achieved by electroless deposition method within 15 min. The SWCNTs/Au-PtNPs electrode was successfully exploited as a catalyst for the oxidation of glucose and the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. The metallic composition dependent catalytic activity was realized at the SWCNTs/Au-PtNPs electrode.295
