Abstract

An original method for the preparation of Pt/C materials dispersed by means of platinum electrodeposition on the carbon particles which are in the form of suspension has been proposed. The materials were studied by XRD, cyclic voltammetry, SEM and TEM electron microscopy. The obtained Pt/C materials contain from 9 to 14 wt% Pt. The average size of platinum particles is from 7 to 15 nm; electrochemically active surface area of Pt/C is from 15 to 29 m2 g−1 (Pt). The resulting materials exhibit catalytic activity in the oxygen electroreduction reaction which predominantly flows through the 4-electron mechanism.
