Electrodeposition of Platinum on Carbon Electrode

Abstract

The title of this study is “Electrodeposition of Platinum on Carbon Electrode". Platinum has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and inert that make it suitable to be coated on carbon electrodes. Other than that, carbon needs to be electro-deposited because carbon does not resist to high voltage. By replacing carbon with electrodeposited platinum, platinum will last longer because it can resist a high voltage condition. The objectives of this study include to optimize the deposition process of Platinum deposited onto the carbon surface and to compare the hydrogen production efficiency for Platinum-carbon electrodes with pure carbon and pure platinum.
