Current developments : The combination of a template method with electrochemical procedures has led to the controlled preparation of 1D nanoscale carbon/platinum electrodes with large surface areas and with small platinum nanoparticles homogeneously dispersed in the interconnected porous carbon matrix (see TEM images). The electrodes display excellent catalytic activities in the oxygen electroreduction.
