ELECTRODE INCLUDING METAL NANOPARTICLES HAVING CONDUCTIVE POLYMER SHELL AND CONDUCTIVE FILM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Disclosed are an electrode including a polymer matrix and a catalyst including metal nanoparticles and a conductive polymer shell and, a method of preparing the same. According to various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, various hybrid nano-composites may be formed by a combination of other conductive polymers than P3HT with metal nanoparticles. For example, the method may include selectively disposing metal nanoparticles to a surface modified conductive polymer including a block copolymer of two or more types of conductive polymers.
