M. Ozawa et al., EFFECT OF FULLERENOL C-60(OH)(N) (N-SIMILAR-TO-24) ON HYDROGEN ADSORPTION ON PT ELECTRODE IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS, Fullerene science and technology, 5(3), 1997, pp. 567-591
Fullerenol, C-60(OH)(n) (n is about 24), was investigated by using ele
ctrochemical techniques on Platinum electrode in aqueous solutions. Fu
llerenol was found to promote hydrogen adsorption during cathodic pola
rization, while its electrochemical inertness was observed within the
potential window of water. This effect was involved by the formation o
f multi-layer adsorption of fullerenol on Pt surface.
