In this work, the effect of the functionalization of Vulcan support on the electrocatalytic behavior of Pt/C nanocatalysts for the Ethanol Oxidation Reaction (EOR) has been studied. Vulcan was functionalized via a micro-wave reaction using citric acid and methanol as chemical agents. Pt nanoparticles were dispersed on functionalized Vulcan using the Intermittent Microwave Heating reduction method.
