Development of Pt-Au-Graphene-Carbon Nanotube Composite for Fuel Cells and Biosensors Applications

Abstract

This project addresses the architectures needed for the processing of Pt-Au-graphene-carbon nanotube (Pt-Au/f-G/f-CNT) nanocomposites and aims at the investigation of suitability of these nanocomposites for the hydrogen and alcohol based fuel cells and to develop novel electrocatalysts for fuel cells. The project also aims at the detection of specific biomolecules in order to develop electrochemical biosensors.
