Chapters 12 and 13 cover two of the most important novel catalytic applications of carbon materials, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis. In the first case, carbons are used mostly as supports for metal catalysts in fuel cells, while the synergistic effects of carbon-based composite semiconductor materials, such as C-TiOi, make them particularly effective in photocatalytic degradation reactions. 

Interest in carbon-based composites with MNPs goes back a long way. Examples are the studies of magnetic properties of cobalt particles [55], electric and optical properties of layers with copper [56] or silver [57, 58] nanoparticles, and so on. It was found in optical absorption experiments that copper and silver nanoparticles [56, 58] dispersed in carbon matrices exhibit a weak SPR effect as in our work (Figures 8.4b, 8.6, and 8.7). 

PVP-protected Pt-Ru alloy and Pt-Ru/carbon-based composites were well prepared from H2PtCl6 and RuClg by y-irradiation in an aqueous solution at room temperature (Oh et al. 2006b).

In addition to their primary function as mechanical property modifier, the high electrical conductivity of carbon fibers provides carbon-based composites with static dissipation and radio frequency shielding characteristics. This opens up a whole range of applications and with carbon nanotubes this can be achieved at enormously low loading levels. One application with future potential is the use of carbon...
