Abstract

We report here that graphene-supported Pt nanoparticles impregnated with the ionic liquid [MTBD][bmsi] which is more oxygen-philic and less methanol-philic than the exterior aqueous solution can exhibit both enhanced electrocatalytic activity and excellent methanol tolerance for oxygen reduction reaction.
