PtAu nanoparticles spontaneously deposited on graphene support, PtAu/rGO, have shown
remarkably high catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in sulfuric acid solution.
SEM images of the PtAu/rGO electrode surface showed that Pt nanoparticles that are non-uniform
in size occupy both the edges of previously deposited uniform Au nanoparticles and the edges of
graphene support. XPS analysis showed that the atomic percentages of Au and Pt in PtAu/rGO were
0.6% and 0.3%, respectively. The atomic percentage of Au alone on previously prepared Au/rGO
was 0.7%. Outstanding HER activity was achieved for the PtAu/rGO electrode, showing the initial
potential close to the equilibrium potential for HER and a low Tafel slope of −38 mV/dec. This
was confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The chronoamperometric measurement
performed for 40 min for hydrogen evolution at a constant potential indicated good stability and
durability of the PtAu/rGO electrode.
