Ym. Maksimov et al., ELECTROCATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF PLATINUM PARTICLES INCLUDED IN POLYVINYLPYRIDINE FILM, Russian journal of electrochemistry, 31(2), 1995, pp. 133-137
The electrocatalytic behavior of platinum microparticles produced by e
lectrodeposition on vitreous carbon electrodes modified by a polyvinyl
pyridine film was studied in the reactions of methanol and formic acid
oxidation. The role of dimensional effect in electrocatalytic process
es was demonstrated. Preparation of highly active catalysts with a low
platinum content by the deposit formation within the polymer matrix w
as shown.
