Synthesis and characterization of Cu-Pt/MWCNTs for use in electrocatalytic applications

In this study, Cu-Pt nanocomposites with different metal ratios were synthesized on MWCNTs using a polyol method. The results show that Cu(20%)/[Pt/MWCNTs(1:4)], which contained an optimal degree of solid solution, enhanced the methanol oxidation to the greatest degree. HRTEM image of Cu(20%)/[Pt/MWCNTs(1:4)].
