Potentiostatic electrodeposition of Pt on GC and on HOPG at low loadings: Analysis of the deposition transients and the structure of Pt deposits

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12]). For thick Pt deposits with loadings of 5 -15 mg cm -2 (like platinized platinum [13][14][15]), the investigation of the microstructure with the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is difficult, so that only the outer layers of the deposits could be imaged after their detachment from the support [16]. In addition, such loadings are much higher than required for real electrocatalysts.…”
