Study of Oxygen Reduction on Pt/ Glassy Carbon Electrode for PEM Fuel Cell Application

This study deals with the oxygen reduction in acidic solution. For this purpose, first platinum particles were deposited on glassy carbon electrode by using electroplating with cyclic voltammetry. The resulting of oxygen reduction were studied using electrochemical method such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) . The results showed higher catalytic activity of the pt/ glassy carbon electrode. Therefore this electrode is a good candidate as a cathode for PEM fuel cells.
