Abstract
) and durability (∼9.1% decay over 10 h) for CD(ED)/CNT were superior to high-performance Pt/C catalysts. The electrochemical double-layer capacitance on the CD(ED)/CNT hybrid showed apparent improvement of the active surface area because of N-doping and highly decorated CDs on the CNT wall. These results provide an innovative approach for the potential application of all carbon hybrid structures in electrocatalysis.
