Pt nanoparticle modified single walled carbon nanotube network electrodes for electrocatalysis: Control of the specific surface area over three orders of magnitude

- Carbon nanotubes can serve as a support for electrodeposited platinum.
- Pt surface coverage can be tuned precisely over 3 orders of magnitude.
- Pt/nanotube composites are tested on well-known reactions.
- Capillary cells are versatile for nanoparticle deposition.
- Capillary cells provide a means of rapidly screening electrocatalysts.
