Synthesis and catalytic activity of platinum/porous silicon nanocomposites

Аннотация

Physicochemical characteristics of the functional electrode nanocomposites based on porous silicon with platinum nanoparticles were investigated with the use of electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and cyclic voltammetry. It is established that a decrease in the platinum nanoparticle size leads to an increase in catalytic activity of nanocomposites in the reactions of electrocatalytic oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation.
