Because of energy crisis and environmental affinity, fuel cells (FCs) are widely investigated and

considered as one of the most important power recourses[1]. Among several alcohols such as

methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol [1...

with platinum nanoparticles at constant potential of −0.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The resulting electrode was denoted as GCE/PPy/Pt. This modified electrode was characterized by IR, SEM, TEM and EDX. The electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol at the GCE/PPy/Pt has been...

.

Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis was used to confirm the presence of platinum nanoparticles in PPy film. The electrochemical and catalytic activities

of the GCE/PPy/Pt were compared with GCE/Pt in 0.3 M HClO4 solution. The electrooxidation of ethanol...
