The title composite was prepared and self‐assembled on carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Even after cleaning with UV/Ozone and electrochemical methods, the residual polyallylamine strongly influences the electronic structure of Pt. The resultant Pt‐NC/CNT nanohybrid shows superior electrochemical activity and stability towards the oxygen reduction reaction in H 2 SO 4 solutions compared with commercial Pt/C catalyst.
