Title: Functionalized graphene-Pt composites for fuel cells and photoelectrochemical cells

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1377830

A method of growing crystals on two-dimensional layered material is provided that includes reversibly hydrogenating a two-dimensional layered material, using a controlled radio-frequency hydrogen plasma, depositing Pt atoms on the reversibly hydrogenated two-dimensional layered material, using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), where the reversibly hydrogenated two-dimensional layered material promotes loss of methyl groups in an ALD Pt precursor, and forming Pt-O on the reversibly hydrogenated two-dimensional layered material, using combustion by O.sub.2, where the Pt-O is used for subsequent Pt half-cycles of the ALD process, where growth of Pt crystals occurs.
