The nanoporous gold(NPG) electrodes with uniform pore sizes and ligaments were prepared by using a simple dealloying method.The as-prepared NPG showed high catalytic activity towards the oxidation of formic acid and formaldehyde.After tiny amount of platinum was deposited onto the NPG substrate,not only the structure stability of NPG was greatly improved,but also the Pt-Au bimetallic catalysts displayed the better catalytic activity and the stronger poison resistance towards the electrooxidation of small organic molecules than the bulk platinum due to synergistic effect between Au and Pt compositions.

Large scale vertically aligned carbon nanotubes(ACNTs) with uniform length and diameter were prepared by the pyrolysis of iron(Ⅱ) phthalocyanine at low pressure.The ACNTs were activated by electrolyte-activation,acid-activation or electrochemical activation.The performance of the capacitor based on activated ACNTs was characterized by cyclic voltammograms which was of rectangular shape,impedence spectroscopy in which the phase is above 80° and the result specific capacitance was 16～32 F/g,which suggest that the ACNTs are the promising material for the supercapacitor.
