Abstract
Sb-doped SnO2 (ATO) support is prepared by sol-gel method in the presence of dodecylamine as template. The synthesized powder presents the highest specific surface area until now reported (216.7Â m2Â gâ1) with high electrical conductivity (0.202Â SÂ cmâ1). The durability test accomplished by cyclic voltammetry in acid media (100 cycles between 0 and 1.7Â V vs NHE) demonstrates that the ATO support maintains significantly its stability and the performance of the tested electrocatalyst compared to Vulcan XC-72. The ATO material is a promising support that can be used in several electrochemical applications where the use of carbon is not suitable.
