Graphene nanosheets (GNS) supporting Pt nanoparticles (PNs) are prepared using perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) as a functionalization and anchoring agent. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) results indicate that the prepared Pt NPs are uniformly deposited on GNS with a narrow particle size ranging from 1 to 4 nm in diameter. A high catalytic activity of this novel catalyst is observed by both cyclic voltammetry and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) measurements due to the increasing of proton (H(+)) transmission channels. Significantly, this novel PFSA-functionalized Pt/GNS (PFSA-Pt/GNS) catalyst reveals a better CO oxidation and lower loss rate of electrochemical active area in comparison with that of the plain Pt/GNS and conventional Pt/C catalysts, indicating our PFSA-Pt/GNS catalysts hold much higher stability and CO tolerance by virtue of introduction of PFSA
