AB  - In this study, by producing bifunctional material, hydrolysis, and supercapacitor applications were investigated. The carbon nanotube-supported Pt catalyst was prepared using the sodium borohydride (NaBH4) reduction. Surface characterization of the synthesized Pt/CNT catalyst was performed using scanning electron microscopy-energy dıstrıbutıon X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Hydrolysis experiments were performed after deciding on the appropriate atomic ratio from the Pt/CNT catalysts synthesized in different nuclear ratios. The parameters affecting the hydrogen production from NaBH4 were examined. As a result of the kinetic calculations, the initial rates of reaction for 30°C and 60°C were calculated as 21949,69 mlH2gcatmin-1 and 70018,18 mlH2gcatmin-1. Galvastonic charge-discharge (GCD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used as characterization techniques for the use of Pt/CNT catalysts as electrodes in supercapacitor applications. The specific capacitance value of 7% Pt/CNT catalyst at 1 A/g current density was calculated as 57,78 F/g. Energy and power density were calculated as 8,025 Wh/kg and 963 W/kg, respectively. Therefore, this catalyst is called a “cap-cat” with capacitor properties. The catalyst used in this study is promising for this recently studied topic.
