Journal of Power Sources 195 (2010) 46284633
Synthesis of Pt/EGS nanocomposite film
was done using 3-electrode electrochemical
system consisted as follows:
EGS film-coated ITO slide as WE
Pt wire as CE
Ag/AgCl (in saturated KCl solution)
electrode as RE

Pt-NPs were electrodeposited on the EGS

film at constant potential of -0.25 V for
1800 s in a mixed solution of 3 mM H2PtCl6
and 0.5 M H2SO4.

Pt-NPs of 15 nm diameter were obtained.
