Abstract

The composite coating Pt-MoOx is produced by an electrochemical technique under potentiodynamic conditions on the surface of a preliminarily prepared electrode of glassy carbon. The inclusion of molybdenum into the composition of the obtained electrode deposit is confirmed by the data of cyclic voltammetry and the secondary-electron emission spectra. In the cyclic voltammograms that are obtained in a 2 M solution of sulfuric acid one can distinguish a pair of peaks at potentials equal to 0.46 V (anodic run) and 0.3 V (cathodic run), which are connected with the redox transitions experienced by molybdenum compounds. It is discovered that the obtained deposit possesses catalytic properties with respect to the oxygen reduction reaction. The number of electrons that are corresponding to the redox transitions experienced by molybdenum compounds is calculated. It amounts to 0.27 electrons per molybdenum atom.
