Abstract

The attractive features of ultrathin porous carbon films have been coupled with the efficient catalytic action of dispersed metal particles. In particular, loading of these submicrometer foams with ruthenium or platinum centers offers a dramatic increase in the electron transfer rates of important redox systems, such as NADH, uric acid, ascorbic acid, acetaminophen, hydrazine or hydrogen peroxide. Characterization of the electrocatalytic behavior (with respect to the pH, scan rate or metal loading) and the attractive low-potential analytical (sensing) performance are reported. Scanning electron microscopy sheds useful insights into the distribution of the metals within the porous electrode matrix.
