▎ 摘　　要

This work demonstrates two-step growth of graphene nanosheets (GNS), in which carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown directly on a carbon cloth. GNS are subsequently constructed on the CNT surface, revealing the stand-up structure of the GNS-CNT hybrid nanostructure. The GNS-CNT hybrid nanostructure shows Nernstian and fast electron-transfer kinetics for electrochemical reactions of Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-). A 0.1 mg cm(-2) Pt/GNS-CNT is used in the cathode of a proton membrane exchange fuel cell, in which the maximum power density is 1072 mW cm(-2) at 80 degrees C under H-2/O-2. In addition to a low-resistance electron-transfer pathway, the GNS-CNT hybrid nanostructure also provides numerous edge planes with strong electrochemical activity, ultimately enhancing electrochemical activity and fuel cell performance.
