The 10-40nm diameter Pt-Pb alloy nanoparticles were mainly deposited at the tips, and sparsely dispersed on the sidewalls of the bamboo-like MWCNTs, as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and x-ray diffraction. The high resolution TEM (HRTEM) image showed a snowflake-like morphology for the Pt-Pb nanoparticles. This Pt-Pb/MWCNT nanocomposite exhibited much stronger electrocatalytic activity toward glucose oxidation than pristine MWCNTs, Pt-Pb on glassy carbon, and Pt/MWCNT and Au/MWCNT nanocomposites, in both neutral and alkaline solutions. This Pt-Pb/MWCNT nanocomposite electrode is hence promising for development as a nonenzymatic glucose sensor. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd. | Source Title: | Nanotechnology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/101505 | ISSN: | 09574484 | DOI: | 10.1088/0957-4484/17/9/043 |
