Transition Metal-Carbon Nanotube Hybrid Catalyst Containing Nitrogen, Method for Preparation Thereof, and Method for Generation of Hydrogen Using the Same

Abstract

Disclosed are transition metal-carbon nanotube hybrid catalysts in which a transition metal having high catalytic activity is uniformly distributed on surface of a carbon nanotube containing nitrogen so as to maximize a surface area of the catalyst exhibiting catalytic activity, a method for preparation thereof, and a method for generation of hydrogen from an alkaline medium using the prepared catalyst. The transition metal-carbon nanotube hybrid catalyst containing N2 according to the present invention is effectively used in a variety of industrial applications utilizing hydrogen energy such as a hydrogen storage systems for fuel cells, fuel storage systems for hydrogen fuel vehicles, electric vehicles and/or as energy sources for electronic devices.
