Abstract
We reported a novel graphitized carbon coated Pt composite synthesized by one-pot TEOS polymerization-high temperature carbonation approach. Electrochemical measurements display that the obtained Pt/graphitized carbon (Pt@GC) shows high electrochemical activity toward hydrogen oxidation. Additionally, quartz crystal microbalance results for hydrogen adsorption indicate that Pt@GC has high performance of hydrogen storage. The synthesized Pt@GC composite shows significant potential applications in H2/O2 (air) fuel cell and hydrogen storage.
