Abstract
With polystyrene latex spheres self-assembled on ITO glass as templates, highly ordered two-dimensional (2D) Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs) were prepared by electrochemical deposition. The morphology and element composition of PtNPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrocatalytic properties of PtNPs/ITO and Sn underpotential deposition (UPD) modified PtNPs/ITO for methanol oxidation has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA). The excellent electrocatalytic activity can be observed for these catalytic systems.
