Synthesis of nano-TaO sub(x) oxygen reduction reaction catalysts on multi-walled carbon nanotubes connected via a decomposition of oxy-tantalum phthalocyanine

Nano-TaO sub(x) particles were supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes via the thermal decomposition of oxy-tantalum phthalocyanine. The phthalocyanine-derived carbon connected TaO sub(x) particles with the nanotube-support to provide a conductive path. The oxygen reduction reaction activity, whi...

More Information
Summary:Nano-TaO sub(x) particles were supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes via the thermal decomposition of oxy-tantalum phthalocyanine. The phthalocyanine-derived carbon connected TaO sub(x) particles with the nanotube-support to provide a conductive path. The oxygen reduction reaction activity, which solely originated from TaO sub(x), was above 0.9 V with larger currents than conventional TaO sub(x) particles in acidic media.
