Abstract

Different surface functionalized (-NH2, -COOH, -SH, purified) multi-walled carbon nanotubes supported Pt nanocatalysts (2-5 nm) were prepared by ethylene glycol method. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM, and cyclic voltammetry as well as linear voltammetry. The electrocatalytic activity of these nanocatalysts were in the order of -NH2 > -COOH > purified > -SH. Polarization and power density data in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell test were in good agreement with the electrochemical characterization and calculation results. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2005 AIChE Annual Meeting and Fall Showcase (Cincinnati, OH 10/30/2005-11/4/2005).
