Abstract

Platinum (Pt) is often used as an electrocatalyst in the electrooxidation of ethanol. There have been many attempts to improve the catalytic properties of platinum-based catalysts to achieve satisfactory results. The solutions are manipulating the size and shape of Pt. In this study, Pt will be deposited using the square wave pulse deposition method at upper potential variations. The Pt samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results of SEM show that the morphology of Pt at potentials of 0.3 V, 0.5 V, and 1.0 V produces a dendritic nanothorn morphology, while 1.25 V and 1.50 V produce a nanoleaf morphology. The lowest charge transfer resistance value is at Pt1.0V with the smallest size. The highest yield of ethanol electrooxidation was at Pt1.0V reaching 8.82 mA/cm2.

Abstract

Gold nanoparticles and platinum nanoparticles are considered to be effective antioxidants due to their ability in inhibiting free radicals. In this research, AuPt nanoparticles were synthesized using a square wave pulse deposition method by varying the lower potential (EL). The XRD results stated that AuPt nanoparticles had formed on the FTO substrate. The shape of AuPt nanoparticles is an irregular sphere in SEM-EDX characterization. EDX characterization also concluded that AuPt nanoparticles had formed on the FTO substrate. Antioxidant testing using the DPPH test resulted the largest inhibition value for AuPt NPs, with a lower potential of -0.6 V and the inhibition activity of 77.17%.
