Ultralow Loading (Single-Atom and Clusters) of the Pt Catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition Using Dimethyl ((3,4-η) N,N-dimethyl-3-butene-1-amine-N) Platinum (DDAP) on the High-Surface-Area Substrate for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Rahul Ramesh et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates an alternative method for achieving ultralow loading of Pt catalyst on highly porous nitrogen-carbon-powder coated carbon cloth (NC-CC) substrates using atomic layer deposition (ALD). It was found that the mass activity of Pt catalyst towards electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is extremely high for a smaller number of ALD cycles, but overall performance improves with an increase in ALD cycles. The uniform dispersion of platinum single-atoms and clusters on the NC-CC substrate was confirmed through transmission electron microscopy images.
