Experimental evidence for support effect of carbon are summarized for Pt or PtRu catalysts supported by carbon nanotubes and graphene as well as for model catalysts of Pt/HOPG (highly oriented pyrolytic graphite). The electronic modification of Pt catalysts by the support effect is explained by a pi-d interaction at the interface between graphitic surface and Pt. The interface interaction is related to non-bonding localized states of carbon, which are observed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy near defects or the doped-nitrogen atom on HOPG. The localized states propagate to a few nanometer regions behaving as acid and basic sites.
