A new approach to synthesize nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) as catalysts for oxygen reduction by treating oxidized CNTs with ammonia is presented. The surface properties and oxygen reduction activities were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, rotating disk electrode and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. NCNTs treated at 800 degrees C show improved electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction as compared with commercially available Pt/C catalysts. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
