Efecto de aditivos orgánicos en la deposición de catalizadores Pt-Ru

The simultaneous codeposition of Pt and Ru on carbon materials was carried out potentiostatically at -0.5 V from H2PtCl6 and RuCl3 aqueous solutions in the presence of different organic additives: 1) ethylene glycol, 2) ethanol, 3) formic acid, 4) sodium citrate, 5) sodium tartrate and 6) Na2H2EDTA. The electrodeposition process was influenced thermodynamically and kinetically by the stabilizers. SEM and AFM analysis of the electrodes showed that both the particle size and the active surface area were notably affected by the presence of the stabilizing agents. The different behaviour of the st...
