Description
Summary:We report here that graphene-supported Pt nanoparticles impregnated with the ionic liquid [MTBD][bmsi] which is more oxygen-philic and less methanol-philic than the exterior aqueous solution can exhibit both enhanced electrocatalytic activity and excellent methanol tolerance for oxygen reduction reaction. A facile strategy is developed to prepare a graphene-Pt-ionic liquid composite catalyst with simultaneously improved methanol tolerance and electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction.
