Abstract

The impact of sp2 sites of amorphous carbon and carbon nanotubes toward the hydrogen evolution/oxidation reactions on Pt nanoparticles, in alkaline medium, is described. The kinetic enhancement is given through the induced UV-photons of selectively photo-deposited platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) onto sp2 domains. The, henceforth, induced sp2 strong metal support interaction favors the electronic, and the oxophilic effects boosting the kinetics of hydrogen reactions.
