PP-26HYBRID PLASMONIC CARBON NANOMATERIALS FABRICATEDBY DIRECT CARBONIZATION OF SELF-ORGANIZED BLOCKCOPOLYMER NANOTEMPLATES FOR ELEMENTSIN ENERGY DEVICESDong Ha Kim, Yu Jin Jang, Yoon Hee JangDepartment of Chemistry and Nano Science, South Korea, Seoul,dhkim@ewha.ac.krHybrid carbonaceous materials have been widely utilized as core elements in thefield of catalysis. It has been recently reported that nanostructured carbon materialsalso exhibit synergetic effects on the catalytic properties when they form a compositewith noble metals [1-2].Among the numerous strategies to generate nanostructured materials, blockcopolymer (BCP) self-assembly have attracted a growing attention as versatileplatforms for fabricating functional nanostructures with tailored composition andarchitecture [3].Here, we suggest simple and viable strategies to fabricate carbon nanostructuresdecorated with highly ordered Pt or Pd nanoparticles based on BCP self-assemblyprocesses. BCP acts as a structure directing agent for controlled nanostructures anda carbon source, simultaneously. By this way, hybrid carbonized nanostructures inlow-dimensional configurations could be obtained. The versatile functions of theresulting hybrid nanocomposites were evaluated in terms of photocatalytic andelectrocatalytic activities based on which potential applications in fuel cell orphotovoltaic devices are enabled.References:[1].
