Abstract

We describe the fabrication of ultrathin wrinkled N-doped carbon nanotubes by an in situ solid-state method. The positions of Co catalyst were first labeled by good-dispersion and highly loaded Au and Pt, indicating the most of Co are unsealed. The resultant unique nanoarchitecture, which exhibits the features of carbon nanotube and graphene with a combined effect of 1D and 2D carbon-based nanostructures, exhibited a superior ORR activity to carbon nanotubes and graphene. Moreover, the novel catalysts showed a better durability and higher tolerance to methanol crossover and poisoning effects than those of Pt/C.
