Hollow spherical nanocapsules of poly(pyrrole) as a promising support for Pt/Ru nanoparticles based catalyst
Poly(pyrrole) hollow spherical nanocapsules (HSNCs-PPy) were prepared and used as an efficient support matrix to PtRu nanoparticles. gamma-Radiation was utilized to load PtRu nanoparticles into Ppy-HSNC matrix. The advantageous characteristics of HSNCs-Ppy/PtRu catalyst as a support matrix for loading PtRu catalysts are presented. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
