AN APPLICATION OF A MODEL CATALYST METHOD TO A STUDY ON A SUPPORTED CATALYST ELECTRODE. EFFECTS OF PARTICLE SIZE ON THE ELECTROCHEMICAL DESORPTION BEHAVIOR OF HYDROGEN FROM SMALL PLATINUM PARTICLES

Abstract
A model catalyst-electrode has been applied for the first time to a cyclic voltammetry study with respect to the adsorption-desorption behavior of hydrogen in an aqueous solution of H2SO4. The peak potentials for the desorption of hydrogen were found to depend greatly on the platinum particle size.
