Abstract
The invention relates to a method for preparing particles comprising a material capable of catalyzing the reduction of oxygen or the oxidation of hydrogen, said particles being functionalized by polymers comprising at least one repeating unit bearing at least one proton-conducting group, and said particles being covalently bonded to a carbon material, said method comprising: a step a) of contacting particles, comprising a material capable of catalyzing the reduction of oxygen or the oxidation of hydrogen, with a polymer comprising at least one repeating unit bearing at least one proton-conducting group and comprising at least one portion corresponding to an organic radical of a compound that is an initiator for ATRP polymerization, said radical comprising at least one group capable of being grafted onto the surface of said particles, whereby particles, onto which polymers comprising at least one repeating unit bearing at least one proton-conducting group are grafted, are obtained.
