Fabrication of ionic liquid-functionalized polypyrrole nanotubes decorated with platinum nanoparticles and their electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol Lihua Qiu , Baoqiang Liu , Yingjing Peng and Feng Yan* Chem. Commun., 2011, 47, 2934-2936
Polypyrrole nanotubes (PPyNTs)/Pt nanoparticle hybrids were synthesized by using covalently attached imidazolium-type ionic liquids (ILs) as linkers. The resultant Pt/ILs/PPyNTs hybrids exhibited high electrocatalytic activity in electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol.
