Abstract

Pt-Co alloyed nanoparticles can be facilely immobilized onto CNx nanotubes due to the incorporated nitrogen, report Yanwen Ma, Zheng Hu, and co-workers on p. 4953. The as-prepared electrocatalysts exhibit good performance for oxygen reduction reactions in acidic media arising from the high dispersion and alloying effect of Pt-Co nanoparticles, as well as the intrinsic catalytic capacity of CNx nanotubes, which is significant for the development of fuel cells.
