Gold–platinum (Au–Pt) hybrid nanoparticles (Au–PtNPs) were successfully deposited on an indium tin oxide (ITO) surface using a direct electrochemical method. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV–vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and electrochemical methods. It was found that the size of the Au–PtNPs depends on the number of electrodeposition cycles. Au–PtNPs obtained by 20 electrodeposition cycles had a cauliflower-shaped structure with an average diameter of about 60 nm. These Au–PtNPs exhibited alloy properties. Electrochemical measurements showed that the charge transfer resistivity was significantly decreased for the Au–PtNPs/ITO electrode. Additionally, the Au–PtNPs displayed an electrocatalytic activity for nitrite oxidation and oxygen reduction. The Au–PtNPs/ITO electrodes reported herein could possibly be used as electrocatalysts and sensors.
