Abstract
Electrocatalysis can be defined as the heterogeneous catalysis of electrochemical reactions, occuring at the electrode–electrolyte interface and where the electrode plays both the role of electron donor/acceptor and of catalyst. Fuel cells, batteries and capacitors, hydrogen peroxide sensors, glucose sensors, and heavy metal sensors are the electrochemical sensors catalyzed via electrocatalysts such as Pt, Pd, and other metallic catalysts. These noble materials are expensive and thus should be replaced non noble and unexpensive ones. In this context, carbon composite catalysts are promising candidates. In this chapter, carbon composite catalysts and their applications as fuel cell anode and cathode catalysts, sensor materials for hydrogen peroxide sensors, glucose sensors, and heavy metal sensors, and materials for batteries and capacitor are investigated.
