Abstract: | High performance gold-supported Pt electrocatalyst for the reduction of oxygen was prepared by replacing Cu adlayers, deposited potentiostatically on Au, with Pt at open-circuit potential in a 0.1 M HCl solution containing K2PtCl6. Auger Electron Spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy reveal the surface modification. The kinetics of oxygen reduction on this platinum modified electrode was studied by the rotating-disc electrode technique. The activity of the electrode is lower than the activity of a smooth Pt electrode in the negative potential scan, but it is significantly higher in the positive scan. |
