Abstract
Using selenium-functionalized carbon as supports, platinum nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the carbon surface, and
showed improved electrochemical properties for the oxygen reduction reaction. At the same time the CO tolerance is improved. The
method provides a new route for functionalization of the carbon surface on which to disperse noble metal nanoparticles for use as
electrocatalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction.
