Abstract

A facile approach to prepare Cu complexes for an efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was developed. Copper complexes of 5-nitrophenanthroline were sandwiched between polyvinylimidazole layers wrapped on carbon nanotubes, which showed ORR activity comparable to a Pt/C catalyst in alkaline media.
