Abstract

Preferentially {100} oriented and polycrystalline platinum electrodes were prepared by potentiostatic electrodeposition. The surface of the electrodes was characterized by deconvolution of the hydrogen desorption region. The catalytic activity for formic acid oxidation was determined by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The results indicate that although the maximum current observed in cyclic voltammogram does not increase, the long term performances as measured by chronoamperometry dramatically increase up to 33 times with increased Bi coverage despite the loss of electroactive Pt surface area.
