Insight into the electrochemical property of electrically conductive porous alumina with surface modification

Abstract

Corresponding Author:[e-mail] Due to the unique bone structure of electrically conductive porous alumina (CPA), increased interests have been attracted to develop a series of potential applications in many fields. Determined from the nano-carbon networks (NCN) with graphitic crystal structure in CPA, it is believed that CPA could be suitable for electrode materials. NCN can supply increased electronic double layer charges by comparing with other commonly utilized electrode. Moreover, by surface modifications with uniformly dispersed Pt and Ni nanoparticles, enhanced performances could be arrived, which was attributed to the co-function of CPA and deposited functional particles.
