Electrically conductive carbon-oxide composites based on Al$_2$O$_3$ and TiO$_2$, intended for 3D printing (CJP), are obtained, and the dependences of the obtained composites conductivity on the preparation conditions and types of used carbon nanostructures (CNS) are investigated. The structure and phase composition of the samples are studied by transmission electron microscopy, and their surface is studied using a field emission scanning electron microscope. The electrical conductivity of the materials is determined with a potentiostat using. The optimal conditions for the formation of composites based on Al$_2$O$_3$ or TiO$_2$ oxides with CNSs and nanofibers by processing mixtures in a planetary ball mixer, which would be ideal for preparing materials for 3D printing (CJP), have been determined. The dependence of the electrical conductivity of composites on the content of carbon nanomaterials (1–5% wt.) has been established. It is shown that the addition of 3 wt.% CNTs to oxides leads to a sharp increase in electrical conductivity from 5.0⋅10$^{−8}$ to 2.8⋅10$^{−4}$ S/cm for Al$_2$O$_3$ and from 5.0⋅10$^{−6}$ to 2.2⋅10$^{−2}$ S/cm for TiO$_2$. It has been proved that composites based on carbon monoxide are promising carriers for catalysts for electrode processes in electrochemical devices. It is revealed that the Pt/TiO$_2$–CNT catalyst with a CNT content of 5% wt. has the best catalytic activity in the reduction of oxygen in the fuel cell cathode simulating the electrode. 3D printing technology (CJP) of an electrically conductive composite (ceramics-CNT) can be used to modify of ceramic fuel cells. In addition, the use of CJP technology will allow to reduce the production cost of electrodes for fuel cells. A composite with 5% wt. CNTs is the most effective. A composite with a CNT content of 3% wt. has a smaller number of extended carbon structures, which ensures the transfer of electrons, and in samples with 15% wt. and 50% wt. CNTs, the low efficiency of the Pt catalyst may be associated with difficulties in contacting the reaction environment due to large amount of carbon material.

Key words: carbon nanostructures, carbon-ceramic nanocomposites (Al$_2$O$_3$ and TiO$_2$), electrical conductivity, catalytic activity, Pt/TiO$_2$–СNT, CJP 3D printing.
