Cover Story: This study investigates bifunctional Pt/CNT materials for hydrolysis and supercapacitor applications. Pt/CNT catalysts were synthesized via NaBH4 reduction and characterized using SEM-EDX, XRD, and TEM. Optimal catalyst ratios were determined for hydrogen production from NaBH4, yielding initial reaction rates of 21949.69 and 70018.18 mlH2gcatmin-1 at 30°C and 60°C, respectively. For supercapacitor use, Pt/CNT electrodes were assessed via GCD, CV, and EIS, showing a specific capacitance of 57.78 F/g and energy/power densities of 8.025 Wh/kg and 963 W/kg. Termed "cap-cat," this catalyst demonstrates promising potential in current research areas.ffordability. View this paper.
