The carbonization of polyphenyl acetylene in alumina matrix yields uniform, cylindrical, monodisperse carbon nanotubes with outer diameter almost equal to pore diameter of the alumina membrane used. The electrochemical characteristics reveal that the charge transfer at the composite electrode based on carbon
nanotube might be higher compared to that of planar graphite, glassy carbon and composite electrode based
on commercially available Vulcan XC72R carbon. Pt-Ru nanoparticles are highly dispersed inside the tube
with an average particle size of 1.7 nm as revealed by HR-TEM images.
