Patent ID: 8778561

Claim:
An electrocatalytic polymer-based powder comprising: a plurality of nanosized particles of at least one electrically conductive polymer species, said at least one electrically conductive polymer species comprising at least one of polyaniline, polyacetylene, polythiophene, polypyrrole, and poly-p-phenylene, polypyridine, and their mixtures and copolymers; a plurality of nanosized particles of at least one catalytic redox species mixed with said plurality of nanosized particles of at least one electrically conductive polymer species, with a weight of said at least one catalytic redox species comprising between 0.1 and 80% of a weight of said at least one electrically conductive polymer species; and a plurality of carbon nanotubes, with a weight of said carbon nanotubes comprising between 0.1% and 50% of a weight of said at least one electrically conductive polymer species; said at least one catalytic redox species being mixed with said plurality of carbon nanotubes.
