Abstract

Electrochemical characteristics and electrocatalytic properties in the oxygen reduction reaction are studied on hybrid nanocomposites based on conducting polymers (polyaniline, polypyrrol) doped with phosphomolybdic acid (PMA), and TiO2 and also their bifunctional analogs containing up to 5 wt % of nanosize platinum. It is found that the obtained nanocomposites in 0.5 M H2SO4 are capable of reversible electro-chemical redox transitions (in the range of potentials from −0.6 to 1.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl), in which the main contribution is provided by the corresponding conducting polymer and dopant (PMA). It is shown that activity of the studied nanocomposites in the oxygen reduction reaction is caused by the joint catalytic effect of all their components: the polymer, TiO2, H3PMo12O40, Pt.
