Abstract:
This paper demonstrates the results of constructive technological research on the development of a catalyst with a Ni/PSi@Pt structure. This catalyst eliminates the use of gold in the structure of μ-FC electrodes. This work uses the main technological solutions for the formation of a gold-containing "core-shell" structure on the inner surface of pores. Comparative data on the results of assessing the durability of porous silicon electrodes with both Pt catalysts and composite catalysts of the Pt/In2O3, Pt/SnO2, Pt/Au and Pt/Ni types are also presented.
