Nickel supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes as hydrogen oxidation reaction catalyst in alkaline electrolyte

Cheap and efficient hydrogen oxidation catalysts are needed for low cost hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells. Here, the authors report that nickel nanoparticles supported on nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes have hydrogen oxidation activity similar to platinum-group-metals in alkaline electrolyte.
