Electroreduction of oxygen on gold nanoparticle/PDDA-MWCNT nanocomposites in acid solution.

The electrochemical reduction of oxygen has been studied on gold nanoparticle (AuNP)/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrodes in 0.5 M H2SO4 using the rotating disk electrode (RDE) technique. The AuNP/PDDA-MWCNT catalysts were prepared using an electrostatic layer-by-layer (LBL) technique.
