Go with the CO: The functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with molecular complexes through π–π stacking produces robust, noble-metal-free electrocatalytic nanomaterials for H2 evolution and uptake. The catalysts are compatible with the conditions encountered in classical proton-exchange membrane devices and are tolerant of the common pollutant CO, thus offering significant advantages over traditional Pt-based catalysts.
