Simultaneous activity and surface area measurements on single mesoporous nanoparticle aggregates
The underpotential deposition and removal of hydrogen from a mesoporous platinum nanoparticle surface is shown to quantify the electroactive surface area of an individual nanoparticle. This surface area of the particle is concomitantly correlated with its individual catalytic activity (current densi...

| Summary: | The underpotential deposition and removal of hydrogen from a mesoporous platinum nanoparticle surface is shown to quantify the electroactive surface area of an individual nanoparticle. This surface area of the particle is concomitantly correlated with its individual catalytic activity (current density) towards the evolution of hydrogen. |
