Electrochemical deposition of Pt nanoparticles on diamond substrates

Platinum nanoparticles were deposited on polished smooth, as-grown large grain and small grain diamond substrates by a potentiostatic method. The influence of deposition potential and the morphology of BDD substrates were studied. A progressive nucleation along with spherical clusters was observed o...

description Platinum nanoparticles were deposited on polished smooth, as-grown large grain and small grain diamond substrates by a potentiostatic method. The influence of deposition potential and the morphology of BDD substrates were studied. A progressive nucleation along with spherical clusters was observed on smooth BDD electrode, accompanied with a heterogeneous segregation of platinum on diamond facets of higher electrochemical activities and a weak binding to the substrate. In contrast, an instantaneous nucleationwas observed on as-grown small grain and large grain BDD electrodes, with a dendritic microstructure and a much larger specific active area. The platinum decorated as-grown smaller grain BDD electrodes show a much better electrochemical stability than the other electrodes investigated. © 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
