Electrocatalytic properties of platinum nanocenters electrogenerated at ultra-trace levels within zeolitic phosphododecatungstate cesium salt matrices

Abstract: A unique preparation method of obtaining stable composite film (with ultra-low platinum content) highly active towards oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation is presented here. The matrix for platinum centers consists of high-surface-area zeolite-type acidic salt of cesium phosphododecatungstate (Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40) admixed with carbon (Vulcan XC-72) carriers. Platinum nanoparticles were deposited on the working electrode modified with matrix via corrosion of platinum counter electrode during cyclic voltammetry experiment conducted in acid electrolyte containing chloride ions. The results obtained from rotating disk voltammetry revealed that the composite film containing Pt nanoparticles at very low loadings (on the level of 2–5 μg cm−2) demonstrated remarkable electrocatalytic activity towards both oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation, particularly, when compared to the performance of the Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40-free system (i.e., containing only Vulcan support) prepared and examined under analogous conditions. The phenomenon should be primarily ascribed to the mesoporous nature of the matrix enabling immobilization and stabilization of small catalytic nanoparticles (1–2 nm diameters) inside the pores as well as to high surface acidity of the polyoxometalate-based salt providing proton-rich environment at the electrocatalytic interface
