Abstract
Graphite nanofibers (GNFs),
on which surface graphite edges were reconstructed into nano-loops, were
explored as a cathode catalyst support for fuel cells. The high degree
of graphitization, as well as the surface-reconstructed nano-loops that
possess topological defects for uniform metal deposition, resulted in an
improved performance of the GNF-supported Pt catalyst. http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2011/CC/c1cc10179j
