Electrooxidation of alcohols including methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol is studied on the modified solid glassy carbon electrodes with various amounts of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) immobilized on a composite of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and chitosan in an acidic solution. Here the chitosan is available as a binder to tightly anchor Pt nanoparticles onto the MWCNTs surfaces. MWCNTs/chitosan composite support can significantly improve the activity of the catalyst for alcohol oxidation and reduce the Pt catalyst loading. The calculated electrochemical active surface area is 379.2 m(2)/g Pt for PtNP-MWCNT/chitosan. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques are employed for catalytic activity evaluation. The effects of operational parameters including platinum loading, concentration of the corresponding alcohol, concentration of the acid solution, scanning rate, and the final limit of anodic potential on the performance of the electrodes are also investigated.
