Journal of Electrochemistry

Modification of phosphomolybdic acid (PMo12) on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film (PEDOT/GC) obtained through the electrochemical polymerization was performed using adsorption method (PMo12/PEDOT/GC), followed by electrodepositing Pt on PMo12/PEDOT/GC to prepare Pt/PMo12/PEDOT/GC electrode. Effects of PMo12 and PEDOT on the methanol oxidation performance of electrode were investigated. Results showed that PMo12 obviously changed the morphology and structure of Pt loaded on the electrode, leading to the formation of sharp thorns at the edge of Pt nanostructures. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry data demonstrated that the catalytic activities of methanol electrooxidation on the Pt/PMo …
