Abstract

Carbon nanofiber (CNF) network supported Pt and Pt-Ni alloy nano particle catalysts were prepared by electrochemical deposition at different deposition cycles. Structure, composition and surface morphology of the Pt/CNF and Pt-Ni/CNF were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Structural analysis by XRD revealed a face centered cubic crystal structure for Pt and its alloy. SEM images have shown that the PteNi nanoparticles distributed evenly on the CNF network. The electrocatalytic activity of the Pt/CNF and Pt-Ni/CNF electrodes was verified using an electrochemical linear voltammetrty (ELV), cyclic voltammetry (ECV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in an alkaline solution containing 1 M $C_{2}H_{5}OH$ + 1 M KOH. The results show increased catalytic activity with enhancement of the Pt-Ni alloy formation.
