Properties Of Metallized Poly-O-Toluidide Membrane Modified Electrode, Li-Zong Dai, Yi-Ting Xu, Hui-Huang Wu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The platinum particles were electrodeposited on poly(o_toluidide),POT,modified electrode,and the surface configuration and crystal orientation of Pt particles were investigated by SEM and XRD.At the same time the oxidation of isopropanol on platinized POT modified electrode was studied.The results indicate that Pt particles deposite towards preferred_orientation;moreover the increase in polymer electroactivity due to proton doping affects the dimension and graininess of deposited Pt particles.At the metallized polymer electrode the oxidation of isopropanol can occur in POT electroactive potential region,however at the more positive than 0.70 V (SCE) potential where POT loses redox activity the electro_oxidation mainly occurrs on Pt particles.It follows …
