A facile approach to the synthesis of highly electroactive Ptnanoparticles on graphene as an anode catalyst for direct methanolfuelcells

Abstract

A one-step electrochemical approach to the synthesis of highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles on graphene has been proposed. The resultant Pt NPs@G nanocomposite shows higher electrocatalytic activity and long-term stability towards methanol electrooxidation than the Pt NPs@Vulcan.
