Electrochemical performance of carbon-supported Pt(Cu) electrocatalysts for low-temperature fuel cells

Pt(Cu) nanoparticles supported on carbon nanofibers (CNFs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Vulcan carbon XC72, have been synthesized by electroless deposition and galvanic exchange. The structural analyses show contracted Pt fcc lattices due to the formation of a PtCu alloy core covered...
