Electrochemical Synthesis of Platinum-Reduced Graphene Oxide Hybrids for Methanol Oxidation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) supported platinum electrocatalyst was successfully synthesized on the glass carbon electrode by the electrodeposition method. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometry were used to evaluate the catalytic activity of the Pt/RGO modified electrode towards methanol oxidation. The results revealed that the as-prepared catalyst exhibited high electrocatalytic ability in methanol oxidation, which could be attributed to the excellent properties of the reduced graphene oxide as supporting materials.
