Iron(II) tetrakis(diaquaplatinum)octacarboxyphthalocyanine supported on multi-walled carbon nanotube platform: an efficient functional material for enhancing electron transfer kinetics and electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid. Journal of Materials Chemistry, Vol. 20(47), pp 10705-107150959-9428http://hdl.handle.net/10204/4934Copyright: 2010 The Royal Society of ChemistryA novel platinum-based macrocycle, iron(II) tetrakis(diaquaplatinum)octacarboxyphthalocyanine (PtFeOCPc), was synthesised and characterised. The heterogeneous electron transfer and electrocatalytic properties of this functional material towards the oxidation of formic acid have been explored on a graphite electrode platform pre-modified with or without acid-functionalised multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). We prove that PtFeOCPc supported on a MWCNT platform (MWCNT–PtFeOCPc) exhibits enhanced electrochemical response in terms of (i) electron transfer towards outer-sphere redox probe, (ii) catalytic rate constant, and (iii) tolerance towards CO poisoning during formic acid oxidation. The results clearly suggest that the MWCNT–PtFeOCPc is a promising platform for potential application as an electrocatalyst for direct formic acid fuel cell.enIron(II) tetrakis(diaquaplatinum)OctacarboxyphthalocyanineElectrocatalytic oxidationElectron transfer kineticsMulti walled carbon nanotubePt-based phthalocyanineVoltammetryFuel cellMaterials chemistryArticleMamuru, S., Ozoemena, K., Fukuda, T., & Kobayashi, N.
