Abstract

New hybrid chitosan derivative–carbon black was prepared and used as a support for Pt nanoparticles. These catalysts showed improved activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), compared with a commercial Pt/C catalyst. The biopolymer chitosan provided an efficient and sustainable surface nitrogen source associated with the superior performance of the catalysts.
